[quote=Anonymous]I'd have to look it up again, but I thought both Lyft and Uber have policies that riders have to be 16+ years old

I have three kids: boy, 16, girl, 14, and girl, 11. For my son, I'm fine with him taking Lyft. I'm not fine with it for my daughters at their ages, though. For them, I have an account with Rydz (catchrydz.com, used to be called rydz4kids when I first started). The drivers are scrutinized much more carefully. It's not instantaneous scheduling like using the Lyft app, but usually I know when I need rides for the girls (like from school to an activity when it's too early for me to leave work, or from activity home when I have a conflict). I get texts telling me exactly who the driver will be, incl. car make/model/license, as well as texts saying "on the way," "en route," and "dropped off" so I know that pick-up and drop-off have happened. It's more expensive than Lyft but not exorbitantly so for the distances/times I need the service.

I realize it's a double standard, but I'm not sure what we will do when my daughters are 16 -- we will have to wait and see if I feel comfortable then. In the meantime though I'd rather use Rydz.[/quote]
