[CT-NFB] Uber and Lyft

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, again,

Whenever drivers pull up, whether I'm home or out, they always ask if this is me and I really appreciate that.

I can't remember exactly when I started using Uber and Lyft, but I think it was about 2015.

It seems as though that would be much safer than sending a description and license plate of the car since most of us would not be able to see that. How would someone know that it was actually an Uber or a Lyft driver or just someone posing as one. Does anyone know if this issue has been addressed with these companies?
