Lyft Rolls Out Option to Block or Favorite Drivers

Quick Summary

• Lyft has introduced two new features for its riders:

– Favoriting Drivers: Riders can mark drivers as favorites after a ride, enabling Lyft to prioritize pairing them with those drivers for scheduled rides adn possibly immediate bookings. Favorited drivers are notified of their status.
– Blocking Drivers: Riders can block drivers to avoid being matched with them in the future. This option is accessible through Lyft’s Safety Hub menu but does not notify the driver.

• Drivers marked as “favorite” get priority access to ride requests from these riders, while blocked drivers will no longer be paired with the rider.

• The blocking feature emphasizes passenger safety and allows users to manage their riding experiences more effectively.
