I have been hearing too many stories of passengers in Uber rides (especially women) being subject to being robbed at red lights (especially around the Castle area at night) in a way that SEEMS as if the driver might be in on it in a way that gives enough plausible deniability: ( eg. waiting for red lights, opening windows in vulnerable spots).
How common is this in your experience and how should UBER be held to account for incidents like this?
This again is a situation where criminals are utilising the gig economy to facilitate opportunities and i find it very disturbing, not least for the trauma it inflicts (i’m not even going to mention the horrible story that DID gain national attention).
