How many times have you walked alone at night in the past few months, because taxis were either non-existent or too expensive?
show that one in two women feel unsafe when walking alone after nightfall in a busy public place, with one in five men saying the same.
Since lockdown restrictions ended in July, passenger demand has increased with people newly free to resume socialising and travelling outside of their immediate neighbourhoods. However, with thousands of drivers having quit Uber over the course of the pandemic, there are many more customers trying to use the service than there are workers to fulfil demand.to meet this want in the market.
But what happens when you don’t have the money for the extortionate cost? Or if you end up waiting for an accepted ride that never arrives? It feels as if you have limited funds, you’re forced to stay indoors or risk your safety and peace of mind when trying to return home by enduring lonely, dark walks., a crowd-funded organisation that promises to reimburse up to £10 of an Uber cost to get home at night, for anyone who needs it.
Hopefully, this will provide some relief to those of whom money has been a barrier to a safe, simple journey. However, this is far from an end to the problem. It shouldn’t be up to the generosity of strangers to fill in the gaps left by an inadequate public and private travel infrastructure - and it still leaves the issue of long, uncertain wait times due to not enough drivers.
