Tips for using Uber and Lyft:

提前计划: 

• Before you request a ride, think about where you’re headed and review the safety features in the app so you know how to use them.

Request your ride inside: 

• Avoid spending unnecessary time outside alone with your phone in your hand. Instead, wait indoors until the app shows your driver has arrived.

Get in the right car: 

• Before you get in the car, check that 车牌, 司机的照片, and driver name all match what’s listed in the app. Always ask “What’s my name?” Never get into an Uber, Lyft or any other private car unless the driver can first identify you by name. Uber rides can only be requested through the app, so never get in a car with a driver who claims to be with Uber and offers a ride.

Avoid riding in the front seat: 

• If you’re riding alone, sit behind the driver or in the rear passenger seat because it creates two possible exits and increases space between the driver and the passenger. Pay attention to your ride, the entire ride, and don’t share personal information.

Share your trip details with a friend: 

• 途中, tap “Share status” in the app to share your driver’s name, 照片, 车牌, and location with a friend or family member. They can track your trip and see your ETA without downloading the Uber app.

Follow your intuition: 

• Trust your instincts and use your best judgment when riding with Uber. If you ever feel you’re in an emergency situation, call 911 immediately.
