Yeah I think this is good. Then, knowing that these drivers use Bitcoin already, you can market products and services to them priced in Bitcoin. Interior car cleaning, and car washing services come off the top of my head, but perhaps a simple food vender service would suffice, knowing that people may use the Bitcoin paid ride sharing app to pick up food from you, or to take a ride to you, then go to relevent areas. Actually a lot to think about with this one.
So even back then it was just like with Uber or Lyft ... use an authorized background check service, submit photo ID, proof of insurance, etc. Passenger sees the driver info and Pic, and vehicle make/model/color. I don't know what other info passenger might get .. such as maybe number of rides completed, feedback/rating, etc.
The (controversial) founder was very aware of the need for rider safety. I've no idea if that's the same person leading the current Arcade City -- they've been very low-key for years, as far as I can tell.
Our previous ERC20 shitcoinery was a massive waste of time. It incentivized us to focus on speculative price action rather than product development. Never again.

There is another post, here on SN, which has additional discussion:

How does rider safety work?
There is this video (unofficial video, maybe?) from when they launched 6 years ago (lots of things have changed since then though):

Here's an article about Arcade City from 2018 when they were still in their "blockchain" (Ethereum) mindset:

Wtf, why did they switch from eth to BTC?
He (Christopher David) is indeed still leading the current Arcade City:
