At Lyft people did think there were automated checks, did know there was a line that shouldn't be crossed, and yet there was rampant abuse. Don't you suspect that many of the students in your position abused their access?
I think companies should be responsible for implementing effective security, whether that means preventing improper access or at least detecting it and punishing it after the fact, not just establishing a "culture." The most dangerous people, the ones who commit violent crimes, aren't limited by culture anyway, because they despise norms and have very different perceptions of risk compared to most people.
In your case, your fellow student workers might simply have not felt safe sharing their crimes with you. "Naughty" behavior can be taboo yet widespread.

- ams6110 9y agoIf you have rules but don't enforce any consequences for breaking them, the rules pretty quickly get ignored. If Lyft had fired a few rulebreakers early on, everyone else would know they were serious.
