Perhaps this whole "random people using their regular car to give rides to total strangers" thing was a bad idea...

What if instead the rides were given in specially modified cars that can include some security features for both parties? And in order to pay for this, perhaps there could be some kind of central company that owned the cars and simply hired the drivers?

That's just crazy talk. Next you'll tell us there should be really big municipally-run cars that a whole bunch of people can ride at once which makes multiple stops. Insanity!

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, have you known many companies that have successfully weeded out creeps that work there?
