In the US? I’m gonna need to see some statutes there bud. Last I checked there are no federal requirements and as far as I can tell there are only insurance requirements in Colorado at the moment.

Yeah in the US. There are too many different laws and regulations for me to list since they’re often state specific. Take California for example:

https://www.rkmlaw.net/ridesharing-regulations-in-california/

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has passed laws for the operation of a TNC within the state. These laws involve the following:

Licensing, permit and certification requirements

Mandatory Lyft and/or Uber decals on a vehicle’s front and back passenger-side windshields Insurance requirements, including vehicle liability and workers’ compensation insurance

Minimum TNC driver age requirement of 21 years old, with at least one year of driving history

Department of Motor Vehicle record checks required for all TNC drivers

Annual background checks required for all TNC drivers

Mandatory driver training programs to ensure drivers are safely operating their vehicles

Accessibility plans for individuals with disabilities

A Zero Tolerance Policy for drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Required vehicle inspections once per year or every 50,000 miles, whichever comes first

Prohibition against TNC drivers accepting street hails from potential passengers

Prohibition against TNC drivers transporting more than seven passengers per ride

If Uber, Lyft or another ridesharing company is found to be delinquent in following any of these laws, it could face penalties. The CPUC accepts complaints from the public regarding ridesharing services or drivers who are in violation of any of the state’s TNC laws.
