Lyft driver Lamont Liner thought he was picking up a regular fare in Chicago late last year. Instead, his passengers pulled out a pistol and stole his car and phone. He hasn’t returned to drive for the app since, even as ride-sharing companies have tried to tempt drivers with more money.
“The money is so good right now,” said the 63-year-old. “But it’s just not worth it to have somebody put a gun to your head.”
