Why bother showing your name to the driver before the ride starts?<p>I understand the need for the reverse. As a customer you want to know the type of car, color, and the name&#x2F;pic of the driver helps identify them as well.<p>But unless you&#x27;re going to show a pic of the passenger to the driver with the intention of the driver being able to spot them (which would lead to MUCH worse things than &quot;Tyrone&quot; not getting a ride), I see no point of giving any info about the passenger besides a statistical star rating.
