Students Who Use Uber Or Lyft “Scared” By Sexual Assault Allegations

Some students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are being forced to reconsider how safe they feel when they use Uber or Lyft for a ride.  A 25-year-old woman is accusing her driver of sexual assault after she used to Lyft app early Sunday morning for what she expected to be a safe ride to her apartment.  Twenty-eight-year-old Hassen A. Ahmed was taken into custody because she says he assaulted her.  Madison police say most people who use ride-sharing services get to their destination safely, but there have been a few “isolated incidents.”
