Uber And Lyft Impact On Society

Currently there’s news which is creating a question in the public’s mind that is this the correct thing done by Uber, a rideshare app producing company, which passed a strange order that any passenger or driver should not be carrying any firearm into the vehicle while they are on drive and if in case they see any violation there would be serious action and they would not be allowed to access the Uber’s services anymore. Are you wondering is Uber safe for drivers and how to use it safely? If yes then this is the place where you can find the answer for this question:

Uber Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2009 by Travis Kalanik and Garrett Camp as a way to solve their own transportation problems in the traffic congested city of San Francisco where it is still based and headquartered. Uber Technologies offers an on demand car service application for smartphone users that links drivers with people needing a ride. According to Jim Makos of Pestle Analysis “It brilliantly connects the transportation industry with technology via its ride-sharing app.” With the click of a button on the application you can summons a vehicle of your choice see your rate, pay

It is against the Constitution of the U.S.A as well as any laws whether state, federal and international that seeks to protect everyone and ensure that rights are equally distributed. However, this has been ironic of Texas’s

Texas’s atmosphere of political apathy did not happen overnight; it has been a work in progress. Texas, along with many other southern states has a history of systematic discrimination towards minorities. Several strategies were used to accomplish this. Probably the least practical was The annual registration system. With the annual registration system, a person was required to register between October 1

I am writing to you to help with your petition in allowing companies like Uber and Lyft to come back to Austin. Before you go out to convince the people of Austin, you should have some basic understanding of how people will more than likely perceive this petition and how they will be effected by it. The general rule to know is that people are selective in the way they experience things. I will tell you in what ways they are selective and how you can get the most amount of people to react positively to your petition.

The necessity or redundancy of voter photo identification is a prominent topic in the news as the presidential election approaches. Multiple states in America require proper photo identification in order to vote, but not all agree with these laws. “Why New Photo ID Laws Mean Some Won't Vote” by PBS argues that photo identification laws prevent millions of Americans from voting due to the often difficult process of obtaining one. “Voter ID Should Be Required for Voting” by Chris Freind supports the opposite view, believing that photo identification laws ensure only American citizens are allowed to

The use of fingerprinting as a means of identification was born out of the need of law enforcement officials to have permanent records that could determine if a convict had been previously arrested or imprisoned. Before the advent of fingerprinting, law enforcement used a number of different methods to try to accomplish this. Ancient civilizations would tattoo or physically maim prisoners. In more recent times, daguerreotyping (that is, photographing) was used, but proved to be less than reliable, because people had the ability to dramatically alter their appearance (Skopitz). As a result, this method too, became obsolete with the discovery of fingerprinting, an absolutely infallible

Missouri's governor, Eric Greitens, signed a bill “paving a road” for new transportation companies to easily operate statewide and supersede local fees and regulations. This doctrine will result in more jobs and will benefit the economy. Specifically, numerous Missourians will have a steady and good job as a Uber or Lyft driver since this will become an official job. With more jobs, Missouri will overcome unemployment, job loss, and destitution. These positive effects on Missouri will make other states consider passing this law. Uber and Lyft will now setup a statewide regulatory standards for the companies and their part-time, independent-operator drivers. Andy Hung, Missouri's Uber manager, is now creating more app-based services due to their

The writer points to Lyft and Uber (more specifically, Uber’s) rating system as an infallible arbiter of safety. Implying, it renders mandatory fingerprint background checks obsolete. Sadly, that ignores the fact that a guy who (admitted to) murdering six people (literally while on duty) had a 4.7 out of five… oh, and all of these other incidents.

State officials claim that the company has not been providing appropriate levels of screening for its drivers. For example, taxi drivers are required to undergo fingerprinting as well as a very rigorous background check. Lawmakers in the LA area are attempting to decide if Uber drivers should be allowed access to Los Angeles International Airport. D.A’s in both LA and San Francisco claim that more than 25 Uber drivers have been identified as having convictions on their record that could indicate that they are a danger on the job: murder, assault, DUI, etc. In response, a consumer protection lawsuit has been filed against Uber by San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón and Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie

Hannah A. Posen begins her note with questioning the effectiveness of the existing taxi regulation in the sharing economy era, particularly by forcing the Uber comply with it. The author argues that the existing regulation were enacted in the era before innovation and technology were developed into the level that people could not have been imagined. Therefore, forcing Uber, technology based transportation service company, to comply with the outdated taxi regulation is not the best solution. Instead, she believes that regulator should focus to customer interest and allow Uber to operate under the experimental regulations for safety. According to Posen, the benefit of experimental regulations are flexible and able to evaluate or reshape as more information and data on these kind of services becomes more available in the future.

contained the following two incidents ( as reported by the article): taxi drivers were protesting against Uber and the taxi industry is split between protesters and non-protesters. The intent behind the taxi drivers protesting is that they are feeling threatened by Uber and what they are bringing to many cities worldwide. Their intent is ultimately

The American people have become very trusting in companies who provide public transportation to their personal destinations. The drivers who are hired to provide this service have access to private information of their clients. Today, there are various companies such as Uber that provide the reliability to take an individual to the destination requested. The service is design to be more efficient than a traditional taxi, bus, or train. Unfortunately, the mass shooting committed by an Uber driver, Jason Brian Dalton in Kalamazoo, Michigan proves the risk of using such services (Landin). Uber’s policy and failure to thoroughly conduct background checks to their drivers can lead to losing credibility, jeopardizing the safety of people, and committing

In recent months, there has been controversy surrounding the fairly new and popular concept of ride sharing companies . Primarily, ride-sharing companies are online-based networks that connect passengers with drivers that use their personal vehicles through a mobile platform. Some of the most popular ride-sharing companies include the well-known Uber, Lyft, and Wingz’s. The packleader of them all, Uber, has recently been challenged by the government, taxi companies, and their own drivers over legal matters. They have been accused of bending around labor laws and disregarding regulations around transportation for hire industry in many of the large US cities where they are present. In mid-2015, Uber has been involved in at least 173 different
