TORONTO — Canadian teens will soon be able to hitch a ride with Uber as the ride-hailing app works to expand its market.
He saw the need firsthand at his household in the inner suburbs of Vancouver, where his family shares one car, but his kids have a string of extracurricular activities that often overlap. Teen accounts were first created for Innisfil Transit, an Ontario town south of Barrie that Uber has a ride-hailing partnership with, and then piloted in Calgary last fall.
The poll, commissioned by the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Michigan, found 70 per cent of parents surveyed thought their teen should be at least 18 years old to use a ride-sharing service by themselves or with other teens. Thirteen per cent felt they should be at lease 17 years old and 11 per cent liked a minimum age of 16. Some six per cent of parents thought teens should be 14 or 15 to start using ride share services.
Twitter hopes to address such risks by requiring teens to set up their accounts through an invitation from their parents or guardians’ Uber profile. Drivers who have faced complaints about their behaviour won't be offered rides with teens and any driver can choose to opt out of picking up such passengers, van Hemmen said.The recording will be encrypted and stored on the teen’s device. It can only be accessed if the rider or driver reports an incident to Uber and chooses to attach the audio file to the report.
