  I think this neatly refutes the whole "I prefer Uber because it's safer than taxis!" argument that's commonly thrown around whenever the comparison comes up.

    How can you “neatly refute” this without knowing the number of sexual assaults in cabs per ride/distance/etc?

    According to this article, there are 17 million user rides each day: https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/05/uber-is-finally-trading-above-its-ipo-price/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/05/uber-is-finally-trading-ab... So I guess it's 3000 out of 6.2 billion rides if the data collection period for both is 1 year.
