A Cab For Your Kids, Is It Really Safe?

As parents with children, there are times when we find ourselves in helpless situations especially when it comes to getting our children to their school or after-school activities. With our older kids, we might have thought about letting our kids take a cab ride alone to get them to their classes or school.

We even become judgmental and look upon such parents with disdain and horror for allowing their child to travel alone but busy parents with few other options do see cab services as a possible solution to get their kids to reach their destination.  

But, is it really safe to let them travel alone?

Let’s do some fact-checking–

Both Uber and Ola have definite rules regarding travel with minors, under the age of 18.

According to Uber, a rider must be at least 18 years of age to have an Uber account and request rides. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by someone 18 years of age or older on any ride. [Source]

Ola follows with, ‘Customers must not book rides for children under 18 years of age unless they are accompanied by an adult for the entire duration of the trip. [Source]

So, this definitely is against their company policies. Yet, we have parents relying on their services for their children. 

The drivers perhaps are unaware of the rules and hence picking up minors. We overlook the fact that these drivers do not go through a very stringent security checklist. The screening process that any cab service provider company uses is minimal. 

Are we really confident of the drivers we send our kids with, entrusting them with the safety of our child?

Can you rest assured about the safety of your child? We think not!

What is the alternative, you may ask! How do we manage our hectic schedule, balance everything and also without fail, take our children to places where they should be? No parent ever wants to compromise on the security of their children and you don’t have to start now.
