FCC slaps Lyft with citation for calling and texting customers

From the article: "Even though the company’s terms say that a user can opt out of robocalls and texts simply by using “provided unsubscribe options,” the investigation by the FCC found that the company does not actually have these options available."

Lame.

Getting ad robocalls and texts on mobile phones is really annoying, totally unacceptable, and illegal.

Getting robocalls anywhere is illegal, but that doesn't stop "Anne" or "Rachel" from "Cardholder Services". The FCC hasn't cracked down on that festering hive of illegality, so why is it bothering with Lyft? Which Important Person wants to count coup on Lyft?

What kind of contact is it? Do they do more than send texts or calls when your ride is there?
