Lyft adds a new app for drivers
I think this is a very good idea! I know many people around where I live who use local Uber drivers whom they trust to schedule early-morning rides to the airport and things like that. The rider will have the driver come to his&#x2F;her house at the specified time, and then the driver and the rider will both turn on Uber and the rider&#x27;s request will be filled by that driver because nobody else is nearby that early. This would would make it much easier to do something like that for both the rider and the driver, and I see this as an important use case because it&#x27;s really the only remaining one which many people would prefer to use a car service or taxi service than Uber&#x2F;Lyft. It&#x27;s also much more profitable for the driver so drivers will like this a lot. Great move on Lyft&#x27;s part, maybe they could consider allowing riders to directly send requests to certain drivers. The point here being that riders using Lyft like a car service have drivers they trust to come on time, not cancel, etc. which are the only potential problems I see here.
