I was hoping to use your transportation service as an alternative to uber. While prices are slightly better you make interaction with customers harder. It wouldn't verify my chosen default form of payment and a request for a second card was prompted to keep on file. I don't have a secondary card and that comes off as shady. My selected default card is used many places online as well as stores and it has never been rejected in this manner. You'd actually drive more business if paying was easier.

It's better than Uber but I'm curious. I can't get help on chat or email (can't even find it in the darn app) re: your family account even though it states IN THE APP you have the option but when I choose to continue, it states you don't support it. WTH guys... Either you have it or you don't & if you don't find, THEN FREAKING REMOVE IT FROM OPTIONS! PLZ.

Consistently has issues with showing correct current location. Multiple trips tried showing "current location" as a previous trip's origin point, and would not update even after multiple restarts of the app. I only use Lyft when Uber prices spike due to high volume, and will continue to do so until this app works as intended.
