The Competitors of Uber to Focus on Rider’s Safety with New Features in London

Uber is a famous ride-hailing service that had its inception in the year 2009 and since then there was no looking back for them.

Uber offers ride-hailing and ride-sharing services to users living all over the world in the most easy yet convenient manner. However, over the last few months, it came into jeopardy due to its zero focus on the safety of the rider.

It is important to remember that the safety of the rider is one of the sole missions of any ride-hailing service and when it does not fulfill this important mission, other businesses, i.e., its competitors will take advantage of this and create solutions to provide the best services to the user.

Talking about Uber, Uber recently came into the limelight because of it giving zero attention to the safety of the riders in London.

Several riders in London complained that the drivers charged extra, misbehaved with them, etc., to name a few.

Thus, Uber has slowly started to lose its customers in London and its competitors have focused on this important problem being faced.

Uber’s competitors thus have created some features that focus strongly on the safety of the rider in London so that they are successful in gaining a large number of users.

Below mentioned are the features that Uber’s competitors have created in order to focus on the safety of the riders in London.
