How great is this, San Francisco?! Our CEO, David Risher, was joined by Mayor Lurie this Wednesday to announce that Bay Wheels is officially Lyft Bike. 💖🚲

Happy #NationalInternDay! 🎉💖 Our Lyfterns spent the summer building something real at Lyft and still made time for game nights, office traditions, and group chats. This is what the summer looked like for them!

There’s a big difference between understanding your customers in a spreadsheet and understanding them in the real world. Lyft CEO David Risher has from the beginning of his CEO-ship gotten behind the wheel, not for a photo opp (we've all seen the CEO who dons a hard hat for some opening...), but because every ride gives him access to both sides of the business: the driver and the rider. He told me about one conversation with a rider that changed how he thought about surge pricing and eventually helped lead to Lyft’s Price Lock feature. “In the lab, sitting around looking at the data, surge pricing looks like an economist’s dream. In the real world, it’s just super annoying. It’s like 100% of customers hate it.” Data can show you what is happening. Talking to customers helps you understand why it matters. And sometimes, that is what gives a team the conviction to actually fix it. Catch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/DavidRisherTIW

Last Halloween I got it in my mind to cosplay Odysseus at Lyft's all-hands meeting. I gave a speech saying that The Odyssey is one of the world's great comeback stories, and that we could learn from Odysseus' tenacity and sense of purpose. People applauded politely as I sat down. But what I remember was our Chief People Officer Dana Rasmussen whispering as I sat down: "Wow. You really committed to that, didn't you." Ouch. Anyway. Thanks to or despite the speech, Lyft's comeback continues unabated, with record numbers of customers, record profits, and an ever-strengthening position in the AV space. At every turn, we remind ourselves what maters: our job is to serve and connect, one billion times a year. To every employee, rider, and driver, past and present: thanks for your hard work making our comeback happen. And to all: I hope Christopher Nolan's movie inspires you to keep sailing ahead.
