Lyft

Lyft is another on-demand ride sharing service like Sidecar. Lyft also does a background check and DMV checks like Sidecar and passengers and drivers rate each other like Sidecar too. Sidecar also increases safety by making doing an actual in-person meeting with new drivers to make sure they are a good fit.


I found the Lyft website to be a little lacking in information and general presentation about the services. However, Lyft has some unique ways of making ride-sharing more fun. For example, drivers put a pink mustache on the front of the car that represents a smile and passengers are supposed to give drivers a fistbump like you would a friend. In San Francisco, people have reported earning up to $35 an hour giving rides.
