Thanks for sharing your story. Sounds like my country, Greece, a few years ago. Letting strangers in your car is high risk, especially during night and even more in particular areas of the world. Cab hailing apps already workaround this, since all routes are hailed by passengers with verified personal details. This means that it's not easy to violate and leave. Even less in the UK, where most cabs have CCTV inside.
