Taxi drivers are professionals, Lyft drivers are amateurs. I'm not being rude, but that's what they are. Taxi's are under strict regulation and guidelines, and require a medallion to operate. Lyft drivers constantly get lost, take the slowest routes to get around, and have taken me to the wrong place multiple times.
- princess3000 13y agoI've taken Lyft twice and both times I had to direct the driver. Which isn't a problem, really, but they are indeed amateurs in the real sense of the word compared to the Uber drivers and most cab drivers. It's kind of neat though since they're just people from the area and even though they don't know where everything is they're interesting to talk to for the most part.
- mynameishere 13y agoHow the heck do people get lost with navigation systems? Or, why would an amateur cabbie not have a navigation system?
- princess3000 13y agoThey have navigation systems built into the Lyft (and Uber) apps, actually, but it was more of me saying my destination and the guy saying "Should I go left or right to get started?" whereas a cabbie just knows exactly where you're headed.
