Schools are trying to use Uber as buses for student transportation

we (Uber drivers) can't transport anyone under 18 without adult supervision

Hello stupid schools keep your germie kids in school busses and stop looking for shortcuts to save money. 

Let me give you some food for thought here.  Uber policy is no one under 18 without an adult.
Insurance companies do not like to pay out and some will do anything to get out of it including LIE!    So you get Tboned while driving a 15 year old to school and he/she breaks their collar bone or needs surgery.   I would think the insurance company could say "Well... You violated Uber policy and therefore we do not have to pay anything towards the medical bills of your passenger." 

... . . . . . . . .   Frightening thought, isn't it???

That is definitely not allowed.. some sort of liability has to kick in here?

I completely agree with you. It is normal when taxis pick up students. When I needed to get a job in a taxi service, I had to use the residency personal statement writing service But as my cousin told me, everything is much easier with Uber. In addition, I like the application, which itself chooses the shortest route, which allows you to save fuel.

This is good for uber. But I'm not going to school, I'm just taking programming classes as I'm in California Medical College and I'm also using the best essay writing services https://www.bestessay.com/write-my-research-paper/  This resource was recommended to me by a friend from another medical college. I think a lot and do little from here, and as a result I have to order homework writing services

It was 3 years ago but I want to comment on it. In my opinion, such schools must be punished. If I heard from my little daughter about that I would take action. Kids must study and GO to study in comfortable conditions. They have such great sources as https://paperap.com/how-to-start-an-essay/ to get help with some of their writing tasks, but the schools can't ensure adequate conditions of transport for children. I hope it was just one incident.

The Uber and Lyft policy is that persons under 18 must be accompanied by someone over 17.

In Chicago, New York City, and Washingtonm D.C. where VIA operates, their policy is persons from 13 to 17 must have a parents or guardians permission to ride.

How would any caretaker/teacher ever think this is ok?!

That is so pathetic. I would be pissed if I found out my kids school was doing this.

I see so many issues with this. For example, how would it known when all the children have boarded and have been seated?  What if there was an injury as the kid climbs on the bus? 

What if a predator gets on the bus and hijacks it? 

Kids need supervision.  School drivers do so much more than just "drive."

Uber Freight can be used for school buses, sure.

This may actually not be a bad idea, as the school buses take very specific routes every day on a schedule. 

I have actually had parents call for rideshare for their children who missed the bus!  Most of them have been highschool seniors not elementary children.  I have had one parent call a rideshare to take a sick child home from school.  This child was 6th grade according to the school nurse.  I told the school nurse that an adult had to accompany the child to her home - and I would be glad to bring the supervising adult back to the school.  So, the school nurse grudgingly came along for the ride.  I drive for Lyft and Uber and these issues are occurring in Pittsburgh, PA.  Jill SM

Sounds like Uber marketing
