After having used Lyft&#x2F;Uber daily for hundreds of rides, I&#x27;ve all but forgotten what stereotypical taxi drivers are like. Talking on their phones, refusing to use navigation software and complaining to me about other drivers&#x2F;traffic&#x2F;politics. Lyft&#x2F;Uber on the other hand has been a delight. The drivers see themselves as business owners who control their own work hours and work load. Sometimes I even get free candy. The future is awesome.
