You similarly have no idea if your taxi driver, bus driver, train operator is sober. Hell, most people recognize their friends or family are not sober and still knowingly get in the vehicle.
- Spooky23 7y agoHow do you know that the operator of the vehicle is the licensee? Do you compare the name on the app to the drivers license? A taxi, bus, truck driver will instantly lose their CDL privilege under many circumstances, including DUI or suffer sanction operating an unsafe vehicle. Train operators get blacklisted. When a carrier like a bus company allows unlicensed drivers to drive, they get sanctioned as well.
- darkwizard42 7y agoEr. You don't know the answer do your two questions when you get in a cab either...Lyft and Uber both do real-time verification (selfies, take a photo of your drivers license). [1] Drivers also have pictures attached to their profile which help passengers at a quick glance understand this as well. I would compare this to how taxi drivers have their taxi license on display. Not perfect, but doesn't seem like the Uber/Lyft issue is anyway less safe than taxis. [1] https://eng.uber.com/real-time-id-check/ https://eng.uber.com/real-time-id-check/
