The “sharing economy” have blurred the social boundaries. In a ride share, your name is known to the driver and other riders, and theirs to you. Drivers use their own cars and act like hosts, lowering social barriers for everyone in the car. All of this creates a favorable environment for meeting new people.
The concept is a feature that will support this emerging phenomenon and help people connect beyond the ride. So I partnered with two other UX designers to find a solution that can be integrated into the current Lyft app.
