        My understanding is the crime rate is much lower than in the late 70s early 80s. The rates of both violent and property crime have been trending down. I think we are media saturated, which is why it feels worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States …

        I used to go to the park with my friends and play all day. The park was a few blocks away...no worries. There's no way I'm letting my kids do that...

        I once spoke to an uber driver who told me about his job and how many times he's had a gun pulled on him because the passenger was upset at him (his rule was no food or drink in the car). It's not always the drivers who commit the crime...

        This is the main reason why I no longer do shared rides, I don’t care how much cheaper they are.

        I remember discussing having shared/pooled rides for our taxi company. We sat in a room with three lawyers. It was 2009. And it was agreed there was way to much risk. No waiver was good enough. And no one losing their life was worth a low fare. So we stopped.

        Most cities don't even allow pooled rides taxis because it is such a blatantly unsafe idea.

        Agreed. Minneapolis says you have to ask both customer consents. That why we looked at it. But, the liability. I guarantee that if Uber wasn’t offering cheap rides everyone would say “Wait, ride in a car with two strangers?” - that’s what we thought.

        Dear @Uber @lyft @Uber_NYC Please cancel your pool/shared ride program (which @juno doesn't have). You must ELIMINATE risk of #PassengerArguments turning deadly! @nyctaxi @NYPDONeill @TheRideshareGuy @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil #DeathOfUberPassenger @nypost @NYDailyNews @ariannahuff

        99.999% of people will not shoot whoever they are sharing a ride with. It's unfortunate this happened, but ending the car-pool service won't help a disturbed heart.

        Agreed.. Uber pool is a bad service for a driver though.. and thankfully I’m at a point where I don’t have to accept them..

        This wasn’t an uberpool. Both of the passengers entered the car together.

        Wasn’t saying it was.. I was replying to another tweet in the thread where the gentleman said Uber should get rid of the pool service.. they won’t get rid of it so I was saying it’s up to the drivers not take such passengers .. appreciate your insight tho
