An average driver does not stop to pick up passengers ever n amount of time. A Taxi/Uber driver does. Speak to some taxi drivers and ask them how many times they've been robbed. Its pretty common. Not necessarily at gun point either. They get a lot of knives pulled on them.
- grkvlt 11y agoAn Uber driver doesn't have the cash from fares, wheras a taxi driver does, though.
- bliti 11y agoThey do have valuables. Their own cash, maybe tips, the cellphone, etc. Robbers go for the easy targets.
- salmonfamine 11y agothey don't get tips in cash. They seem marginally more likely to be robbed than other drivers.
- manigandham 11y agoThe drivers dont have more than any average driver... in fact they usually are just average everyday drivers. The pickup and payment is done entirely through the mobile app and now includes pictures of both drivers and riders. I really would say it's far safer than a taxi. Someone planning on robbing someone probably wouldn't use a GPS capable device to first have the potential crime scene come to them with continuous tracking the whole time, only to steal what they could get from basically anyone on the street.
