Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly slide after Trump comments on weight loss drug pricing
Investing.com -- Lyft Inc. is testing a new feature that will provide drivers with additional information about potential riders, including their tipping habits and punctuality.
The ride-hailing company is showing drivers details such as "rider tipped on X% of rides" and "rider is usually ready at pickup," according to Bloomberg, citing a screenshot shared by a Boston-based driver on social media platform X.
Currently, Lyft drivers make decisions about accepting passengers based on limited information, including trip payment, time and distance to pick-up and drop-off locations, and the rider’s rating.
A Lyft spokesperson confirmed to Bloomberg News that the company is testing this feature with a "limited number" of drivers. The company plans to collect data and community feedback before deciding whether to implement the feature more broadly.
This new information could help drivers make more informed decisions about which trips are worth accepting, potentially improving the efficiency of the service for both drivers and passengers.
