Rideshare doesn’t pay shit so how much are they really getting? It’s not worth it at all. The FBI should be able to help solve this quickly. Follow the money

Single moms are truly raising so fine and amazing young men.

If they requested the ride through the rideshare apps, Uber and Lyft should have all their information, including name, address, email, and phone number, which will help authorities identify those suspects.

Thats why i don’t pick up people in bronx, harlem, yonkers, far rockaway, brooklyn.

Drivers have to use commonsense. If they want to change destinations, say no.

It’s not hard to grab their phone though. They have it right in front of you.

[apap]

See them ; just keep driving; don't even bother stopping.

[mauricewells]

Huh? Why not just check where the funds were diverted too or am I missing something here?

[crazyfrnd]

Uber and Lyft have all rider information so why can't they track down them😮.

This is the type of crime that will happen over and over and over. It certainly will never stop. Not ever.
