The build up in ride sharing options like Lyft and Uber has a few strengths for travelers who need a simple means to schedule a trip, whether to work, an evening out on the town, or for any other purpose. In Miami and across the country, these service providers are remarkably desirable and are provided through companies like Uber and Lyft. They offer the efficiency of booking a ride by way of a cell phone app. It is generally quicker and easier to arrange a ride with these companies as opposed to a traditional taxi cab service.There are multiple operators on call, particularly on the weekends and in the busy Miami metro area, creating a surge in collisions involving Lyft and Uber vehicles. These transportation services do not possess comparable insurance that a conventional taxi service is legally bound to have in place. This lack of insurance policy coverage can potentially mean that an individual as a rider might be taking considerable risks utilizing these services if injured in an car accident.
