I couldn&#x27;t disagree more. Whether or not a passenger is a repeat customer of a driver is irrelevant, the drivers are rated by each passenger (at least for uber, this is non-optional), and if their rating gets too low, they stop getting fares. This system is infinitely more effective, efficient, fair and maybe most importantly, up to date, than any background check or fingerprinting system ever could be.<p>And not only is it effective at protecting the public, it actually incentivizes the driver to be <i>better</i> than the bare minimum (which is what is encouraged by simple background checks).
