Which ride-sharing service is safer, Lyft or Uber?

Both Lyft and Uber have safety measures in place, but their effectiveness can vary. What specific safety features are you interested in?

I'm curious about driver background checks and insurance policies.

Uber conducts extensive background checks, including criminal history and driving records. Lyft does similar checks but may have different criteria. Both companies provide liability insurance for drivers and passengers.

What about safety features in the app?

Both apps have safety features like ride tracking, sharing trip details with friends, and emergency contact options. However, Uber has a 'panic button' feature that directly connects you to emergency services.

Are there any statistics on safety incidents?

Yes, both companies release safety reports. Generally, Uber has reported more incidents due to its larger user base, but Lyft's safety record is also commendable.
