Sarah's Lyft Story

Another Lyftacular story submitted by L.A. passenger, Sarah. Thank you, Sarah! Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm a student here in L.A. I moved her over the winter holiday from a small town in Illinois. I'm scared to death to drive in L.A. traffic.  I had a few experiences with cab rides that made me want to cry. A friend told me about Lyft and I fell in love with the service the first time I used it....

Britt's Lyft Story

Another Lyftactular submission from a happy Lyft passenger! Thank you, Britt! First of all, I am terrified of cabs. Don't know why but I have had a fear of cabs since I was a kid, so I avoid them at all costs. When I didn't have a ride to the airport, I was stricken with fear that I would have to beckon a cab, scrambling to find a gracious friend.  Then I remembered Lyft - I've heard nothing...

Vivian's Lyft Story

Another Lyftastic submission from an LA Lyft passenger! Thanks for sharing, Vivian. I moved here in 2006 from NYC.

The Chronicles of a Chronic Lyfter

Tonight I scheduled a Lyft home and was picked up by Charan. As usual, a wonderful conversation began and per usual, I quizzed Charan about his history with Lyft. (There's no awkward silences when I'm around. I'm always chatting and extremely inquisitive. And that's probably another reason I get along with Lyft drivers too; THEY are fantastic conversationalists!)  I learned that Charan...
