4 safety tips for Uber and Lyft passengers
You hear in the news all the time of riders unfortunately becoming victims when taking an Uber or Lyft. Down below is a list of four things riders can do to be safe the next time they take an Uber or Lyft.
1. Look before your get in
Both Uber and Lyft give you a picture of your driver, along with the make, model and license plate number.
On busy nights like Fridays or Saturdays, please be patient while waiting for your driver. Do not walk up to a driver waiting outside a bar to ask for a cash ride. They are likely already on a ride, and they may be a fake Uber or Lyft driver.

2. Share My Trip
Both Uber and Lyft offer a feature that allows riders to share their live location with friends. This tool enables them to track your exact location and route, while also notifying them when you arrive.
3. Follow the ride with your own GPS
Follow the ride with your own GPS, especially when you are in unfamiliar cities. Doing this ensures your driver is on the right route and taking you to your destination, instead of somewhere else.

4. Ride in a group
Going out drinking with your friends? Both Uber and Lyft recommend traveling in a group for your late-night partying. It’s the safest thing for those riders who are so drunk they can barely walk. Please don’t call an Uber or Lyft for your heavily intoxicated friend and throw them in the backseat alone. Doing so becomes a safety issue, not only for the rider but for the driver, too.
