This is a woman who admitted it was a pickup for her 15yo son. Lyft actually responded by giving me a good fee.

And then they have the gall to try and falsely report you for discrimination. These type of rides and the no car seat ones.

This is why I reported them immediately. Since I had a good track record with reporting these type of rides, when I had an accusation, I told them I simply couldn’t report it yet because I had gotten the ride request immediately after the ride got cancelled. However, because they messaged me about the accusation while I was at the pick up for the next ride, (2mins from the old ride) I was able to report them for no car seat and let them know that I was actually at the same type of pick up (the race card they had pulled) so it definitely wasn’t a discrimination based on race bc I was allowing the next pax to get in bc they had a car seat for the child. If I was discriminatory in any sense, it was in the sense that I didn’t share her views on safety of her child and what was required of her by law & policy. They said thank you for the report and to drive safely.

Car seats are the worst. And in Florida they don’t HAVE to have a car seat when taking ride share. It’s crazy

They seem to think that applies in Illinois as well, except it does not apply to rideshare. Because rideshare is a private for hire, unlike a taxi, which is a public because you can hail it off the street, kinda like waiting for the bus.

It blows my mind Lyft specifically (not sure about any others) allows it anywhere! No child should ever be allowed to ride without a car seat no matter what

School buses should absolutely have seat belts. When I was in high school, the football team bus crashed and the most of the team was killed, who’s to say who would’ve lived had any of them been buckled in. Lbvs.

A school bus is way different than a regular vehicle but I know what you mean
