The men, who kept their receipt, never talked religion or politics during the $71 fare. But Eli Grynhaus said he felt a little uneasy when Saipov got lost during the trip that lasted more than an hour, from 5:45 p.m. to 7:03 p.m. “When we got to Lakewood, he took us down a back street,” Grynhaus said. “I asked him why he was going down there. I was starting to get nervous. It was a bad area. He said he made a mistake.” Making small talk, Saipov told the teen students he once lived in Tampa, Fla. The driver also talked about how he alternated between driving for Uber and driving for Lyft, depending on the better fares.Talk about a brush with destiny.
