That's as anecdotal as it is devoid of any causal link. There have there been numerous incidents of rapist and otherwise crazy Uber drivers around the world, and the mere choice of whether you're an Uber/Lyft driver vs. a regular taxi driver doesn't reveal anything about how sane you are.

At best, people get lucky to get assigned to cars whose drivers don't need the money and party do it for fun. As Uber & Lyft take over the traditional taxi indry's market share though, the quality of taxi drivers will revert to the mean, especially if the drivers are in fact the same people only operating under a different brand.

Uber drivers get ratings. It drives out the bas drivers. Significant difference from taxis.
