Uber fans have been raging about the bad press their favorite phoren cabwalla has been getting since driver Shiv Kumar Yadav allegedly raped a passenger last week. Fans are even more upset because the cab service just got banned from operating in Delhi. Initially, everyone was like: one cab driver doesn’t define how safe (or unsafe) the cab provider is.

But the thing is, this isn’t the first time Uber has gotten in trouble. Here’s a quick list of the shady shit their drivers have been up to.

Kidnapping and intent of sexual assault: Los Angeles

Hit and run death of a six year old girl: San Francisco

Accusation of rape: Washington, D.C (the case was dropped)

Uber clearly seems to have a legacy of not checking who they’re hiring.

This is why Uber needs to take some responsibility for the rape, instead of us thinking it wasn’t the company’s fault.

1. This isn’t the first time Uber has hired people who have been in jail

After someone complained of verbal and physical abuse from an Uber Driver in the US last year, it was found that the driver had done prison time – and Uber had ignored their criminal history. Even for Shiv Kumar Yadav, Uber needed to wait for a police interrogation to find out that this guy had done seven months in jail – that too for another rape case!

2. How does Uber even verify its drivers?

While the arrested driver Shiv Kumar Yadav had served prison time, we don’t even know if he was acquitted (as he claims), or ran away from jail. On the Uber Delhi blog, the company wrote: “Uber exclusively partners with registered for-hire drivers who have undergone the commercial licensing process, hold government issued IDs, state-issued permits, and carry full commercial insurance.”

But does that mean Uber has verified these people ?

3. Despite all the slick high-tech gear in these cars, there’s nothing for safety?

After the girl fell asleep, Shiv Kumar Yadav drove her to an isolated spot and then raped her. When the car went off course from the route to her home, why wasn't there an alert firing off at Uber headquarters? What’s the point of rigging the cabs with iPhones if the company can’t really do anything with the GPS information but compute your bill? If you're launching in Delhi, the Rape Capital Of India, you have to work on safety.

4. Why doesn’t Uber train its drivers in hospitality – and make them realize they can’t rape and get away with it?

All Uber does is tie up with cab permit owners to join their service. There’s no concept of gender sensitization here and no training that a girl in a miniskirt isn’t a hooker.

But this is what we’re paying for. We want to be able to fall asleep in a cab – is that too much to ask?
