In California Vehicle Code 27908. (a) In every taxicab operated in this state there shall be a sign of heavy material, not smaller than 6 inches by 4 inches... clearly displayed in view of the passenger at all times ... (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the agency regulating the operation of the taxicab.... Lyft and/or Uber has no such sign, is NOT regulated by a Government Agency. Hence, it is a personal vehicle, not a "taxicab." Hence CVC27315 applies, and if anyone isn't belted in the DRIVER gets the ticket.

If over 16 the passenger is responsible for wearing a seat belt.

You do. You're responsible for the safety of the passenger.
