由于COVID-19，Uber和Lyft都暂停了拼车服务

Uber and Lyft today revealed they’re both temporarily suspending carpooling services. As more and more health organizations recommend people keep their distances from each other in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, both ridesharing services are attempting to take measures to protect both their drivers and riders without suspending operations completely.

Uber announced that it would be suspending the UberPool option in the US and Canada, as well as Paris and London. It’s also added an in-app message asking riders to reconsider non-essential trips, and to protect themselves and the driver by washing their hands and giving the driver distance.

Uber has already been attempting to mitigate the situation for its drivers, including offering two weeks of financial assistance for any driver that must quarantine themselves, have tested positive for the virus, or have had their accounts suspended for public health reasons. It’s also attempting to provide drivers still working with disinfectants, so they can keep their cars clean. As for Uber Eats, it’s waiving fees for independent restaurants that might be impacted by the social distancing.

Uber已经在努力试图缓解司机的处境，包括为任何必须隔离自己、病毒检测呈阳性或因公共健康原因而被暂停账户的司机提供两周的经济援助。它还试图为仍在工作的司机提供消毒剂，这样他们就可以保持汽车清洁。至于Uber Eats，则是对可能受到社会距离影响的独立餐厅免收费用。

Lyft is also suspending Shared rides on all markets starting today, saying, “The health and safety of the Lyft community is our top priority.” It also promised financial assistance to drivers affected by the coronavirus, but hasn’t specified how much or for how long. In both cases, the companies have said they’ll be taking cues from the authorities on how long to continue operations.

从今天开始，Lyft还暂停了所有市场上的共享乘车服务，称“Lyft社区的健康和安全是我们的首要任务”。它还承诺向受冠状病毒影响的司机提供财政援助，但没有具体说明援助的金额和时间。在这两种情况下，两家公司都表示，他们将根据当局要求，来决定继续运营多长时间。

Neither company is completely suspending business, which is probably for the best — even assuming everyone is being assiduous with their social distancing, there will still be essential workers, like those in the healthcare industry. And people will likely still need to go to grocery stores and pharmacies. Everyone staying inside 24/7 is the dream, but not the reality. But at least users won’t be in close quarters with too many other potential infectees.

两家公司都没有完全停业，这可能是最好的选择——即使假设每个人都在努力与社会保持距离，仍然会有像医疗行业那样的必要工人。人们可能仍然需要去杂货店和药店。每个人都24/7呆在家里是理想，但不是现实。这样至少用户不会与太多其他潜在感染者密切接触。
