No, that's why it's beautiful product design. They know something about me. I am at location A and I have a problem: I want to be at B. They then solve that problem smoothly with reasonable defaults. They know this is the prime problem I have and that I have some top few variants on this.

Speaking of the defaults, the auto-suggests these guys have are fucking ridiculous too. Both Lyft and Uber. It's 4 AM in the morning and I've opened the app at home: offers me a ride to SFO. It's 11 PM in the evening on a Friday/Saturday and it offers me a ride to my friend's place. It's midnight and I'm at that friend's? They offer me a ride to my favourite club. I am one-click touching everywhere. These guys are good.

Superb user functionality.
