I also derive tremendous personal value from getting the opportunity to meet the people driving the cars.

Hearing different perspectives, sharing interesting stories, and generally engaging in real human interaction are something I don't get enough of in my regular life, and Lyft has materially changed that. Of course unfortunate that I don't get enough of that outside of a transactional transportation arrangement, but it's real for me.

I really appreciate you mentioning this. I occasionally drive for Lyft just to meet new people.
