Not a fan of this. 99% of the time I just want to get from A to Z, not become besties with my Lyft driver.

I find that sometimes after work I don't want to talk to anyone, but minutes after getting into a Lyft, I feel happier because the driver has energized me with their personality and conversation.

Sure...but I'd rather not expose my Facebook information to a stranger. I can just...talk.

I agree.

Also, my Facebook Friends aren't always my actual friends. I might not want to get into a long conversation about Aunt Bridget with my Lyft/Uber driver - I don't know what their feelings about her are, and they don't know what mine are. I might hate her guts, and they might be her best friend.
