Closed 1,038 signatures

What the petition asks

To improve safety of passengers vehicle sharing schemes like 'pooling' should be banned as you never know who will be next person sharing vehicle with you. Would you like to share a vehicle with a stranger? Female going home with stanger? Help London being safer place.
Pool ride has been advertised as cheaper option of Regular ride but litte do passengers know that means longer journey while driver is stopping to wait for next rider that requested pool ride. If driver does not stop is facing possible deactivation from platform and if does is facing low rating by riders which is leading also to deactivation from platform.
Both ways, driver is facing issues and rider safety is compromised.
