It's the second full report from the ride-sharing company.
From 2020 to 2022 — amid the height of the pandemic — Lyft saw an increase in motor vehicle fatalities and fatal physical assaults, and a decrease in the five most serious types of sexual assaults asBoth Lyft and its rival, Uber , have long been criticized by victims for not doing enough to protect passengers and drivers.From 2020 to 2022, there were about 1.41 billion Lyft rides, which is 337 million fewer rides than during the period covered in its previous report, 2017 to 2019.
The company points out that "preliminary studies by the NHTSA attributed the increase in fatalities to riskier behavior from drivers during the pandemic, including speeding, failure to wear seat belts, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol." It also says it saw an increase in carjackings, peaking in late 2020, similar to broader nationwide trends, and that mask policies also led to conflict during that period.Share on email
