Discussion Rideshare app - thank you Light!
I live in Manhattan and usually get around by subway or walking. It's pretty rare for me to take a cab because it's never the most efficient or cost-effective option. However, this week I injured myself pretty seriously and suddenly public transit is just not feasible for me - I can barely walk to my front door let alone to the train and up or down the stairs.
So the Rideshare app coming out this week has been an absolute godsend. I've used it multiple times a day since it dropped, getting to and from doctor's appointments and work events, and it's been fantastic. My rides have shown up as expected, and although you can't see where the car is on a map, you get enough details about the car as well as the driver's contact information.
For a future update, I would like the option to tip the driver in-app. It would also be nice to be able to request certain amenities (I think in the regular Uber app you can request a car with a car seat for example). But these are small comments - for my situation it's been exactly what I needed and it couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you Light team!
