Canadian teens will soon be able to hitch a ride with Uber as the ride-hailing app works to expand its market.
He saw the need firsthand at his household in the inner suburbs of Vancouver, where his family shares one car, but his kids have a string of extracurricular activities that often overlap. Teen accounts were first created for Innisfil Transit, an Ontario town south of Barrie that Uber has a ride-hailing partnership with, and then piloted in Calgary last fall.
The poll, commissioned by the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Michigan, found 70 per cent of parents surveyed thought their teen should be at least 18 years old to use a ride-sharing service by themselves or with other teens. Thirteen per cent felt they should be at lease 17 years old and 11 per cent liked a minimum age of 16. Some six per cent of parents thought teens should be 14 or 15 to start using ride share services.
Uber hopes to address such risks by requiring teens to set up their accounts through an invitation from their parents or guardians’ Uber profile. Uber will only offer trips with teens to drivers who have a high rating on the platform and have made a high number of trips through Uber.
