They all had the mustache. I miss them. Anyone still us ethem?
Why they get rid of the mustache? Was it sexist because it made it seem like Lyft was only for guys?
I gogled it. It looks like you are unpackaging somethng way naughtier than a taxi sign.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. LOL. Dude, this is Lyft drivers saying, "eff it" and selling the Amp lights that are being "distributed" by Lyft.
Lyft driver; "What the heck is this box from Lyft?"
Wife of the driver: "Oh, honey, you've been working so hard. Didn't you say you completed 250 successful trips? What could it be? Cash bonus? Maybe a gift package?"
Driver: "Umm, it seems to be a box. Pencil case? It doesnt' seem to open. Wait, it lights up though"
"Oh, to get better visibility and get more fares. So you can make more money."
"No, I get requests on the app. No one hails us on the street."
"Oh...."
"Well, some schmucks are buynig them on eBay for $70. Sweet."
I love the part of the story where they look down at this LED light and think, "Oh, this is what's important to people from California."
followed by, "Will you go tell the kids it isn't food, and we have nothing to eat tonight? or should I ?"
$70?!!!! For something that will never make money?
No, you have it mistaken. The unit dispenses money like a gumball machine. I think every hour. Maybe two. I could be wrong.
and we have come full circle to the lighted taxi light....
haha, exactly. Soon Uber/Lyft will truly jsut be like taxi cabs. Next feature: You can hail them from the street!
This is required now in most cities.
And we all originally laughed. Hahaha
Now the question is whether Lyft will provide them for free to all the drivers.
The Lyft Amp is now being distributed to drivers iwith at least 250 rides.
250? Isn't the like everyone
Are we allowed to install these things on the outside of our cars? Like on topf my car? Yes, this is a serious question.
How is this a new article? I've seen this thing for months. maybe a year..no?
These actually look really neat. I was justs reading over "AMPs" on Lyfts site. I love how they will sync to the riders app, calling them by name, etc.
