I&#x27;m not trying to answer the &quot;contractor vs. employee&quot; question.  There are many factors which go into that determination and I don&#x27;t know enough about Lyft to offer an informed opinion about that.<p>My point is just that a contract between you and Lyft which states that Lyft will get someone to drive you somewhere does not imply that Lyft&#x27;s drivers are employees, because the presence of a contract between Lyft and its customers is entirely consistent with Lyft&#x27;s drivers being contractors.
