Teen accounts were first created for Innisfil Transit, an Ontario town south of Barrie that Uber has a ride-hailing partnership with, and then piloted in Calgary last fall. The poll, commissioned by the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Michigan, found 70 per cent of parents surveyed thought their teen should be at least 18 years old to use a ride-sharing service by themselves or with other teens. Thirteen per cent felt they should be at lease 17 years old and 11 per cent liked a minimum age of 16. Some six per cent of parents thought teens should be 14 or 15 to start using ride share services.
Teen accounts will send parents and guardians notifications when teens request a ride. The accounts will also allow the adults to track the trip and contact the driver or their child through Uber’s app.
