Of course I have never heard of it, but isn't that kind of like picking up a hitch hiker?? I know, in the long back day, people did it all the time. You are braver than me, picking up a stranger to ride out of town. I'm glad you had fun though and I'm glad you made it back home.
blah blah strangers no no ...LOL... not me.
Hahaha, we did it too, I mean being hitchhikers when we were young :D
But this is not really that. You have a thread of steps to do in order to register and become a verified user, you have to prove your identity (to the platform) with your passport or ID, phone number, email etc... then you also have a reputation and opinions that you get from the drivers or passengers you travelled with, so both sides can and should check it first, before you agree to share the trip. When the passenger books the trip the platform withdraws the funds from his card and when the trip finishes and everything has gone well then the driver receives the transfer. And then, there are preferences that the driver can set so you as a passenger have to respect them. It all before you agreed to share the trip, which nothing happens while someone is hitchhiking :D
wait... no blah blah with strangers? 😱
😂
