>Am I crazy or is it ridiculous that a ride-sharing company didn't give their employees free Lyft credits to alleviate the situation? I can totally understand Lyft not offering in-app credits, for a number of reasons: 1: If a Lyft employee is unable to get a Lyft, for whatever reason (like, no drivers nearby, or whatever), then they're gonna be pissed, because they won't be able to use their Lyft credit for an alternate option (where another person could also check other options, like Uber, taxi, calling a friend, etc.). 2: Lyft would probably still have to deduct payroll taxes on the credit paid to the employee. That would really suck for Lyft employees who don't use Lyft enough to use up the credit (by, for example, taking public transit).
