Transit Diaries | A Redeye Chicago Podcast

When it comes to using a rideshare service or taking a taxi, we’re essentially putting our well-being in the hands of another person. Usually the ride goes off without a hitch, and we get to our destination comfortably and safely. But imagine instead of a driver taking you to your destination immediately, that person puts your safety in jeopardy. That’s what happened to Alexis Taylor, a 25-year-old Edgewater resident and friend of mine, on March 20. This is the story she told me. Host(s): Rianne Coale, Akeem Lawanson The Transit Diaries runs in RedEye's print edition every Tuesday on Page 4.
