Lyft Will Now Pay for Your Tinder Date's Ride


Dating is hard, but ride-sharing company Lyft is trying to make it a little easier.
It will now allow you to pay for your Tinder date’s ride.
It’s all part of trying to encourage more in-person dating as we slowly wind our way out of the coronavirus pandemic.
The system protects privacy by allowing you to send a credit — and set a destination for dropoff — without exchanging addresses or locations.
The credit can only be used for drop-offs within half a mile of the set destination so that your date can’t take advantage of you to gallivant all over town. Unused credits will be refunded.
It’s all about getting more business for Lyft, of course, and Tinder gains some goodwill among users, to boot.
I’d say happy Valentine’s Day, but, well, it’s October.

Yeah, don't tell Lou in British Columbia this story. He will talk about how the field should be level, and all drivers should have commercial level driving license, be unionized, have good insurance and pension plans and excellent 401k, otherwise he is all for Uber and Lyft. Meanwhile, Lyft will get your date home. Poor Lou from BC.
Aww. Lookit that, Cec, them folks over at Lyft are jest plain nice folks! "It’s all part of trying to encourage more in-person dating as we slowly wind our way out of the coronavirus pandemic." Makes you wonder what kind of sludge for brains Lyft execs assume their customers possess. Their real motives are obvious and hardly altruistic. Like two-for-one pizza deals, if anyone thinks this is anything more than BIZNISS and that adorable management people are taking the high intellectual and caring path of enlightenment, casting profit to the wind just to be nice, then they must be off their tiny heads. Aww. Bunny wabbits and soft teddy bars.
so when the modern woman is done with her booty call, she can send her fukboi home for "free"
Show this writeup and these comments to the executives of your favorite neighborhood automotive manufacturer. I bet they will want to advertise with TTAC *right* away.
