EP17: The Dangers of Ridesharing - What you need to know before you go..‪.‬ Safety Chick Rules

Today's show is about Ridesharing and the dangers that go along with it. 36% of people in the US use ridesharing apps. Uber has 95 million monthly users in the US, and Lyft has 32 million monthly users. 37% of 16–24-year-olds actively use Ridesharing in the US. But just how safe are these ridesharing services and what should you know before you hop into their car? My guest today is here to share invaluable insight into these services and has worked tirelessly to make Ridesharing safer for all users. Seymour Josephson is the father of Samantha Josephson, a University of South Carolina student who was brutally murdered by a man who was pretending to be a rideshare driver. Samantha mistakenly got into his car thinking he was her Uber driver, a common mistake hundreds of Rideshare users do every day. I always say, this podcast is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things out of great tragedy, and Seymour embodies all of that and more. This episode provides vital information for those of you who use Rideshare Apps, it could save your life.
