This is wonderful.
I used to be a Lyft driver, and something that seemed would be interesting at the time is a system, not unlike this one, for learning a city. In London to drive a cab you must do this super difficult test, and this means cabbies are very knowledgeable about the city. This is something in that vein, love it.
