- shoyer 12y agoCould not agree more. I'd love to use an alternative to Uber that is less scummy, but I'm turned off by Lyft's style.
- GraffitiTim 12y agoMost Lyfts in SF don't have mustaches anymore (or at least not displayed prominently) and about 10% do the fist bump now. I always sit in the front seat because it seems friendlier (and the drivers definitely do seem more friendly than on Uber), but I doubt they'd have any problem with you sitting in the back. I use Lyft frequently and love it.

- thrownaway2424 12y agoPlease elaborate on scenarios where the passenger side of the car is not also the curb side.
- rhizome 12y agoAh crap, I don't know what I was thinking.
- pbreit 12y agoI don't understand. Either way you're typically entering in the same side, which is usually the curb side.
- spullara 12y agoThe passenger side of the car is generally curbside unless you are on a one-way street.
- johnny99 12y agoI use Lyft all the time and almost always just hop in the back, say hello, and... do whatever I'd be doing in an Uber or a taxi, just with a nicer driver and supporting a company I actually like. Drivers don't seem to mind at all. If anything I get the sense they're kind of relieved not to have to put on a show.
- jwilliams 12y agoThe magic of the silly pink mustache and the fist bump is to disarm people – disarm them from something that is otherwise weird (getting in a car with a total stranger). SF and NYC are very mature markets - both in ride sharing and just these types of tech in general - so I can see how it's less useful and/or run it's course. However, I think this is something that might serve them well as they expand internationally.
- hyh1048576 12y agoMeh. Lyft is not even in my city.
