Ridesharing has become synonymous with transportation over the past decade. A majority of the US population has enjoyed the services Uber & Lyft provide. From driving people to work, to the airport and occasionally picking up inebriated passengers, I have seen and done it all when it comes to rideshare. However, there is one aspect of driving for Uber/Lyft I don’t like and that is the passengers ability to order a ride for a minor.

Driving for Uber and Lyft has become increasingly popular over the years, currently there are close to 2 million active drivers in the US and over 3 million globally. Rideshare companies allow people to use their own vehicles to generate additional income to their existing regular jobs as well as generating income in between jobs. Most people look at rideshare driving as a part time side gig but about 20% of Uber and Lyft drivers are on a full time basis.
