Another New Discovery

Lyft is a super cool ride-share app that I've used a couple times now. Essentially what it is, is a taxi service, but with non-creepy drivers and is much less expensive. It's technically all donation based, but a fare is suggested and I can adjust what I want to pay from there. However, it does track what I do pay and the driver has to rate me based on their experience with me (I get to rate them as well) and all that goes into a big database. That information pops up when a driver has the option of accepting me or not. Drivers use their own car and it's a great way for them to make extra money on the side. They'll go anywhere you need to (within 60 miles) and operate until 3 am Thursday-Saturday. All I have to do is open the app and it shows me how far away the closest driver is. I then request a Lyft and the app tells them my location and the option to accept me.

I got a 20 minute speech on God one ride (it's great, it truly is, but all I wanted to do was relax after work. I was not in the mood for chit-chat, especially a deep conversation about God) and one guy's cousin is married to the lead singer of Imagine Dragons, so he is tight with them. Way cool, but would've been cooler if I got concert tickets out of the deal. :-)
