Are ride-sharing apps putting our kids at risk?
With the rise of ride-sharing apps, concerns about car crashes and safety are growing.
Rise in Fatal Crashes
The surge in non-regulated ride-sharing companies correlates with a disturbing increase in fatal crashes over the past 5 years.
Regulations Matter
Yellow taxis, subject to regulations, have seen a significant decrease in crash-related fatalities. Regulation enforcement is crucial for safety.
Driver fatigue and distraction
Lack of regulation on driving hours for ride-share drivers leads to drowsiness and distraction, exacerbated by multiple devices for Uber, Lyft, etc.
Impact on Insurance Rates
The increase in ride-sharing apps directly correlates with higher crash rates and, consequently, increase insurance rates for everyone.
Industry Shifts
Regulated taxi drivers are leaving for the less-regulated ride-sharing industry, impacting overall road safety.
Addressing the issues
In Massachusetts, new legislation allowing easier access to driver’s licenses further complicates the safety landscape.

Consider Northeastern Boston Car Service, offering a user-friendly website and transparent pricing, ensuring safety and convenience.
