Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have long struggled to handle sexual assaults on their rides. These companies do conduct background checks on their drivers, but that does not mean that every rideshare driver is safe.
To put into perspective how often these incidents occur, we want to turn to a report recently released by Uber. By their own admittance, the company received 5,981 reports of sexual assault in 2017 and 2018. Out of those reports, 460 four were for rape. Uber’s report showed that 92% of rape victims were passengers and 7% were drivers.
Lyft has yet to release a comprehensive report on how many sexual assaults have been reported in their vehicles. However, there is no reason to expect that their numbers are vastly different than Uber’s.
