In many ways, we look at Uber as the safety net for a city.

I'm not a daredevil. I don't fly without a safety net.

Safety is number one at Uber... so we make sure the system is in place so riders get the safest ride possible.

We don't want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people into complacency and dependence.

A safety net for the poor indeed requires some level of income redistribution.

Of course we have compassion. We just don't believe the safety net should be used as a hammock.
