>A two-year study from the National Bureau of Economic Research recently found that Uber and Lyft riders with “Black-sounding” names waited longer to have trip requests approved than riders with “White-sounding” names. Now, Lyft has announced a new measure it’s taking to curb racism: a hidden score measuring driver discrimination.
>In November, Senator Al Franken wrote an open letter to Lyft’s CEO, Logan Green, and Uber’s CEO, Travis Kalanick, asking them to address racism on their platforms. On Wednesday, Sen. Franken released both letters. In its response, Lyft said it will start tracking driver cancellation and quality of service for drivers in poor, minority communities. From the letter:
>Also, moving forward we will enhance our regular thorough review of ride cancellations (as noted above), by including a focus on cancellation rates and quality of service in “minority census tracts” as defined in 12 USCS § 4502 (a census tract that has a minority population of at least 30 percent and a median income of less than 100 percent of the area median income).
Found those in 2 seconds. Luring people into "minority census tracts" in order to rob/exploit/kill them is pretty common. Google pizza delivery driver shootings/murders.

Damn, sounds like that movie Collateral
Luis Adams
wow babby learns about al franken
enjoy the ride
Sebastian Parker
Best case scenario the dude jumps out without paying, worst case he kills you and steals your car. Stop being so racist america.
Jose Edwards
>the dude jumps out without paying Not possible.
You have to add a payment method before booking the ride, and the ride is automatically charged afterwards.
Jaxson Powell
Asians and hispanics are pissed.
Jose Lopez
They do realize their drivers are mostly Indians, Chinese, Mexicans etc. right?
James Flores
Will the be keeping metrics on how many white drivers get shot in the face by some nigger? I think not.
Christopher Johnson
Now they have to go into dangerous ass areas to pick up niggers.
That's funny
Easton Reyes
>mfw I exclusively use Uber spanish or do pick ups at USC to avoid the groid
Anthony Sanchez
Exactly, and as we all know only whites are racist.
James Nelson
Why cancel on your nigger clients when you can listen in on their niggery and report it to the police afterwards?!
If niggers just selected reasonable names like everyone else they would not be having to deal with this kind of shit.

Just a distraction. Softening the blow for when they later announce they're replacing those racist drivers with the driverless fleet.
Asher Roberts
>it is undeniable Sup Forums is always right
Gavin Watson
Can anyone really blame the drivers for not wanting to pick up nigs?
Carter Gomez
Saton trips of truth
Justin Martinez
>r/atheism kek'd hard.
Jason Edwards
And they wonder why uber is winning
Kayden Wright
Franken is just a commie
Ethan Diaz
I'm an app driver. I never pick up niggers. They fucking smell like shit and they're fucking loud and they need their own ghetto nigger car service
Lucas Collins
Lol I use lyft in my area because it has less brown drivers than Uber.
This is stupid though, the drivers should have the right to refuse service to anyone with no repercussions. Especially potentially troublesome customers.
Ryan Parker
Checked.
When it reduces the chance of being the victim of a crime, people really should have the right to discriminate who they invite into their car.
Wyatt Nguyen
>tfw black crime is whitey's fault.
David Gray
...won't be long before this backfires on them horribly. Stupid PC politics. BOOM! It's gonna blow up right in Lyft's face like Demarcus and Antoine blasting a .45 in their face. Just wait.
Jose Cooper
don't photoshop me or my waifu ever again

>A two-year study from the National Bureau of Economic Research recently found that Uber and Lyft riders with “Black-sounding” names waited longer to have trip requests approved than riders with “White-sounding” names DAS RAYCISS!!!
Gavin Brown
Imagine this
>You know that blacks have much higher crime rates than whites >You know you are much more likely to have something happen to you if you pick up a black person >A black and white person each call simultaneously >What do
This is on par with that versace retail nigger code issue.
Angel Wilson
I do uber/lyft in the bay area occasionally and you will often see large "surge" areas in oakland/richmond (nigger areas) all the time because drivers dont even want to go in there.
On my first day I dropped of some people near a ghetto area and got a request for a pick up. I didnt really notice I was in the ghetto but when I pulled up I was this nasty black crackwhore looking bitch and I noped the fuck out of there.
$15 an hour isnt enough to deal with niggers in your own car.

Asher Evans
Let's first see (((Al Franken))) or any other other limousine liberal working as an Uber or Lyft driver in the hood. No bodyguards, no camera crew, nothing.
