Kalamazoo shooting spree puts Uber in spotlight over safety concerns

Some are questioning the ride-sharing company's less stringent safety standards after driver Jason Dalton completed rides between several shootings in Michigan

The spotlight is once again on Uber and its alarmingly light safety requirements after a driver went on a mass shooting spree, killing six people and injuring two in Michigan this weekend, while picking up and dropping off passengers in between.

"People who drive for hire passenger transportation, they're placed in a position of trust. They're sort of like daycare workers. Their customers are vulnerable, alone, in a strange car," said Dave Sutton, the spokesman for Who's Driving You, a campaign run by the Taxicab Limousine and Paratransit Association. "And Uber leaves them vulnerable."
