Do they still require Facebook? I don't have a Facebook account. I wanted to try/use this service in SF but was disappointed when it required me to sign into Facebook.

They recently rolled out a "log in with phone number" feature, so there's no need to have a Facebook account anymore as far as I can tell.

The phone chargers are a small, but very big improvement. Snacks I could be whatever about, but getting 10% extra juice in my phone during a taxi ride could make the difference for me between requesting an uber ride or this.

Facebook is no longer a requirement to use Lyft. Just a valid mobile phone number.

How can companies get away with saying things like 'the most affordable premium option' without providing any pricing information whatsoever? Why do they even think that it is acceptable to do so?

Some businesses say, "If you find a competitor with a lower price for the same item, we'll sell it to you for N% less." I suppose that's one way to get away with such language.

Also, "affordable" is a weasel word. "Most affordable" may not mean "lowest price."

Why do so many new sites use this exact style of website? It's like it is so supposed to be new, modern and minimalist, but it is getting old already.

It's kind of annoying. If you click the link to request an invite or become a driver and then close the popup, you can't use the back button to go to the previous page.

It's worth pointing out that the chocolate pictured is $8+ for a 2oz bar.

It's small-batch, handmade in the nice part of the Mission with carefully-sourced beans. Basically as San Francisco as it gets.

Seems like the cost would add up, but I guess they hope most riders won't partake.

So, other than the mobile phone app, is there any difference between this and the other limo services out there?

For anyone from Lyft-- you need a loyalty program for all of us that spend hundreds of $s a month :)
