Most ride-hailing services that are still operating during this pandemic are requiring passengers to wear masks.
However, some drivers are being smart and taking extra precautions, like putting a barrier between the front and the back seat:
And some have even figured out a way to circulate air to the back seat — with tubes and, in some cases, air fresheners:
My uber driver making sure I get that AC in the back💀😭
yeah but does your Lyft driver have a plastic shield but a metal tube with air freshener attached so you can get AC in the back? didn’t think so
There are drivers who have added tip boxes to their barriers:
@WannaBeReeceJr @marysuewriter This was in a telsa the other day.
And some who have confined themselves to their front seat with PVC piping:
My lyft driver has a SERIOUS setup.
There are drivers who have gone above and beyond, using plexiglass to shield themselves from their passengers:
@WannaBeReeceJr My driver a couple months back had a plywood/plexiglass set up too. Awesome efforts.
And then there are drivers who are making protective shields with basic materials from the grocery store:
Shoutout to this uber driver for having a Saran Wrap divider , I’ve never felt safer
Companies, like Lyft, have given active drivers plastic shields that latch onto the head rests:
Lyft to distribute 60,000 driver shields to the most active drivers. The circle is almost complete. Just need to issue some medallions and wrap the cars in same patterns 😅
And the drivers who still want to offer snacks do so with a bottle of hand sanitizer readily available:
"Yall help yall selves" Lyft driver of the year😂💯🔥🗯
Basically, everything just looks a lot different in 2020. Keep staying home when you can, and stay safe!
