| - I signed up for Lyft the other day and with the enrollment, I was gifted a bucketload of FREE rides. So let's give this thing a whirl!
Six rides in two days (Starmount to Uptown, Uptown to Plaza Midwood, Plaza Midwood to Uptown, Uptown to Starmount, Starmount to Uptown and Uptown to Starmount). The app shows you which driver is coming, provides a picture of them and their car and you can watch them on the way with GPS tracking.
These aren't taxi drivers. These are regular drivers, background checked and insured, earning a few bucks on the side. One of my drivers said she clears a good $400 a week if it's particularly busy. With another driver, I was her second ride ever.
And because they're not taxi drivers, they might not be especially aware of how to get around the Charlotte area, what's what and what's where. But hey, it's much cheaper than a taxi. I'd use the service again.
No hand shakes at the end of the ride. It's all fist bumps with Lyft.
