Short Answer:

I have not used Uber or Lyft to get places, but my family members and friends have, and they tell me all the great things about the services. I think this is a super convenient and reliable source of transportation, and one of my friends told me about her experiences. She was unable to get a ride home, so she called in an Uber, and got home safely. She said the driver was really nice, and she didn't feel in danger or awkward during the ride. I feel like ride sharing is extremely helpful and should be used more in the future. It reduces traffic, and can hopefully prevent accidents or other backups. For example, if a person got drunk and didn't feel safe driving home, calling an Uber or Lyft would be the safe route out of the situation. I feel that ride sharing is a lot safer than a regular taxi service because the rider can examine and check out the driver before getting in the car, which can reassure the rider that they are in safe hands. It also puts aside the problem of getting in a taxi, getting to your destination, and forgetting money. With these ride sharing services, that is taken care of before getting in the car. I definitely think that the two services/companies should have the same safety precautions. Any rider should feel safe and at ease when getting in a car with a driver/stranger, and although being involved with the city may irk Uber or Lyft, I think if it ensures extra safety for the rider, that it may be necessary.
