    For multiple decades pregnant women, mostly women of color, who are living in Baltimore, Maryland have not received proper prenatal care. Although a significant number of pregnant women within the city typically initiate prenatal visits within the first trimester, there are still many of those women who are receiving late or no care. It has been noted that lack of transportation is one of the causes for women initiating prenatal care visits at later stages of pregnancy or not at all. Therefore, No Bumps in the Road (NBR) would like to investigate the predicted high impact that providing free of cost transportation to low income pregnant women would have on the prenatal care initiation patterns in Baltimore, Maryland.

    Chauffer companies seems like a bad idea I can show that it is a bad idea. It also states on paragraph 21 that ‘’ride hailing serveries for children may not make enough money just by transporting kids to be a great business. The idea does not seem like a good idea because it does not allow minors,like people 18 or younger which is a really bad idea because most people above 18 are able to drive. Unlike minors they need a ride to school and most of the time a friend of theirs or a bus takes them to school because they trust them,But Uber Lyft does not cover its safety concernsThis paragraph shows why my statement is a good reason not to take rides to school with Chuaffer companies.…

    SafeTrak is a secret GPS parents can use to track every movement of their teen drivers car, but do parents really want to break trust with their kids? I believe that parents should not invade their teens privacy and track their kids, because it shows children their parents don’t believe in them, trust them and won’t let them learn from their mistakes.
