This assumes that Lyft's ToS forbids this type of access, which I'm sure it does, but it also conflates legal behavior with moral behavior. Read literally, many terms of service would block any access whatsoever, as phraseology blocking "any automated or manual access" is popular. [0] Isn't all access either automated or manual? The question is not if you're going to violate the ToS, since in most cases, just using the service invariably does so. Rather, the question is whether your misuse is going to make the company upset enough to sue you. And if it does, it doesn't necessarily mean anything unethical or unfair occurred; it just means something that upset that company occurred.
