Yeah, that rules out mistaken driver. That is terrifying, and I'm glad she's safe. For all the knocks on social media, it really is invaluable when it comes to spreading awareness. These tweets could possibly prevent terrible incidents from happening.

Jeez, so that 'friend of a friend' story just might have saved Kayla's life, semi-directly.
So even if you can only classify that as 'almost almost almost' abducted, that's still enough to warrant more awareness of all this shit.

This is why I don't trust Uber or Lyft. So easy to get in a really bad situation. Depending on the city, it's much easier to fake being a cab driver.

Dismantling the regulated Taxi system to make it more akin to the dangerous lottery that is the taxi system in many third world nations. Silicon valley, you've done it again! Another winning idea.
I'm glad she's alright, but internet home/ride/whatever 'sharing' aps need to go away or comply with the regulations applied of the services they're trying to kill off.

Taxis are just as sketchy depending on where you are. I've had this happen while I was waiting for my gf dude pulled up in a van and had the word taxi on it and said he was here to pick me up, told him I didn't call for a cab he was like yeah you did, I flagged down a cop nearby and the van took off

It's why things like Uber and Lyft were invented in the first place. Because there's a number of sketchy "taxi" and taxi companies out there that get by because they aren't regulated well.

People here acting like this isnt a common trick since taxis.
Brazilian international airpprt even recommends you to use uber or lyft since its much easier to check if its yoir drive than a taxi/cab.
It is airport travelling 101,if you are calling a transport service,triple check any information you have

Uber makes so much easier to protect yourself. These taxi system dont have support safety or good rates. They are giving a cheaper and more safe alternative
