#lyft — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #lyft, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I rode #Waymo a lot during the 2024 fires in Los Angeles. I'm sorry this is not the negative #AI vibe of #mastodon, but it is really good, really smart, defensive and conservative, very safe. California #DMV reports on Waymo accidents are overwhelming, Waymo incidents are dominantly the fault of other human drivers. This is where AI wins, and now the increasing ridership is here. #Google is coming for #Uber and #Lyft. Looking forward to it coming to San Diego.

  2. Lyft has a promotion whereby they discount your ride and a friend's ride (their first) within 2 weeks of referring them, up to $10 each. I was hoping for a free ride for each when I glanced at the email, but okay.

  3. The ride-sharing company Lyft will ensure the rights of blind and other disabled passengers across the country to travel with their service animals under a settlement announced in Minnesota on Wednesday.

    College student Tori Andres turned to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights after several Lyft drivers refused to let her service dog, Alfred, ride along with her. apnews.com/article/minnesota-l

  4. Okay, so, it's suggested, and for good reason, by #Lyft, that you write a note to let the driver know what to look for, to make the ride smoother. However, why is it that too many times, the driver does not bother to look at said notes. Oh, maybe can't speak-a-de-English. That, should, not, be, our problem.

  5. They shut transbay #Bart #PublicTransit Service down after I left a #NoisePop gig in SF...thankfully Lyft got me home in wee hours... If you need a ride use my code to get 50% off yer next one... Thats 50% off 1 #Lyft ride in #SanFrancisco #BayArea if you sign up using my referral link. Terms apply,

  6. yeah arg is that CC has bad unit economics (true for Max, probably not for Pro) but like...that doesn't mean it's *necessarily* a permanent money-loser. Stimulating demand by under-pricing can work! $UBER $LYFT $ABNB $CART $DASH etc etc

  8. Anyone have opinions on whether #Uber or #Lyft is better?

    Lyft changed the price on me multiple times. Recently, it said "Since you updated your stop or destination, your fare reflects actual time and distance". I didn't make any changes!

    On the next trip, it sent the driver to the wrong location. I think that is Apple's fault. Their GPS was total garbage in downtown Seattle. But Lyft's app didn't give me a way of contacting the driver to find out where he was. They charged me a waiting fee.

  9. . BREAKING! If you drive or use #Doordash or #Uber or #Lyft YOU NEED TO READ THIS. (I put the actual post her is referring to in the comments ITS A MUST READ the Reddit poster tells you exactly how everyone’s getting ripped off!) #GeneralStrike #TheyAreRobbingUs #TrumpAdministration .

  15. #Privacy (or lack thereof): #Lyft has added a setting in the app that allows them to monetise your data for targeted ads. It is *on* by default and has to be turned off manually.

  16. Have you seen a notice like this on your phone recently? "This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data"

    Nov10, New York’s Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act takes effect, requiring most companies that use algorithmic pricing to clearly display a disclosure notifying consumers that prices are set using their personal data.

    But exactly how companies like Uber and DoorDash use that information to serve up prices to users, in many cases, remains a mystery. ag.ny.gov/press-release/2025/a #Prices #NYC #AlgorithmicPricing #Uber #Lyft #DoorDash #UberEats #SurveillencePricing

  17. "Gig workers in the EU scored a landmark victory against delivery apps.

    Platforms like Uber and Deliveroo have relied on exploitative practices like classifying their drivers as independent contractors and paying workers below minimum wage.

    Now, thanks to years of relentless organizing and legal battles, 30 million workers will be protected under the world’s first comprehensive gig worker protection law." From perfectunion y elisejoshi IG

  18. @nwchapman And this is announced right after #CBS did a glamor segment on their news doc program #SundayMorning promoting #Waymo this past weekend . . . 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    I'm not a Luddite but I am one of those who say they'll never use an #AutomomousVehicle or #SelfDrivingCar no matter how safe they say they are.

    There are other options & if I need to get somewhere & I can't use my own car to do so, I'll #Walk and/or take #PublicTransit and/or #RideSharing and/or #Uber or #Lyft instead. 🤷‍♂️

  19. Lyft announces plans to launch robotaxis powered by Intel’s Mobileye tech in Dallas by 2026, with plans to scale to thousands in more markets. 🚗🤖 #Lyft #Robotaxi #Intel #Mobileye #SelfDriving #TechNews #AutonomousVehicles #FutureOfTransportation

  20. Here's my personal #discountcode for #lyft : lyft.com/i/ANDRE54254 It gets you up to $10 off a ride in the US, if you haven't ever used Lyft before. First come, first served. If you use this discount code, I also get $10 off my next ride.

  21. @TheOldGuy #BoycottKraftHeinz this makes me sad because I like their products and Senator Heinz would’ve never been a seditious conspirator, but apparently his current family are OK with that. #BoycottUBER use #Lyft they kept their promise not to donate to election deniers.
