> I will always pick the cheapest option.

My friend's sister got hospitalized after her Uber driver ran a red light because they were not privy to traffic queues most normal people would have caught on to (like stopping when a light is turning red)

I will gladly spend a couple extra bucks the ~20 times I need to Uber a year so that I am not getting into a screaming metal death trap with an unfit driver.

It’s not clear what you are spending extra money on or how you are evaluating driver aptitude. What about Uber’s driver requirements doesn’t work for you?

I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing Uber cut driver wages to beyond razor thin because I'd question if the driver (who is willing to work for next to nothing) is qualified to safely drive me around.
