I think Uber and Lyft can put in more care in the relationship between drivers and passengers.” ~~Mesafint Gebermariam, Aeronautics “Yes and no, I ride my bike but I don’t trust a lot of drivers because most of them are not from here so they don’t know the area. Also I over analyze drivers too, it freaks me out.” ~~ Melanie Choi Nursing “I think it’s safe, I used to use Uber all the time. I have a car now but I would use Uber because it feels safe.”~~Nick Valdez, History “No, I do not feel safe. There’s a lot of young women getting kidnapped and assaulted so I don’t use Uber or Lyft anymore.” ~~Nalasha Johns, Nutrition
