Politely ask them to show a driver’s license or ID card to confirm their age.
You have the option to cancel the trip if you believe the rider is underage (Select unaccompanied minor as the cancellation reason and potentially receive a cancellation fee).
They apparently do have Teen rides now but only through a connected account and only in a few cities. I would assume Lyft has similar policies.
it’s an insane risk. I work for transportation in k-12 and I would never transport kids without several feet of paperwork, it’s difficult even with that. you have to have a lot of policies about what to do if and when anything happens, they won’t get out, they have a medical emergency, they refuse to use a seat belt, they scream racial slurs, they start a journey of self discovery, they hit their head on hard objects for fun, they punch windows aggressively while screaming, they report criminal acts of themselves or others, they light up a Jay, they start discovering others, they forcefully insist on discovering others without consent, and so on. unaccompanied minors are a nightmare just in terms of liability and crisis management.

I don’t know the details, but Lyft has teen, pink, and silver.
Teen is obvious, silver I assume refers to middle-aged and above, but pink? Are we transporting babies straight from the womb?
Woman riders who prefer a woman drivefr
I wonder if the parent could’ve just accompanied them and returned in the same Uber, it’s not even a new ride back
most likely
