Directly OnDemand for Lyft

Key challenge
Lyft drivers are in demand, but due to the current shortage, acquiring new drivers may be challenging. Drivers are increasingly worried about ride rates, referrals, pay-outs, safety, and ratings, and they seek transparency.
Hence, providing great driver experiences and maximizing their earnings have become extremely important to keep them satisfied and establish a robust community of Lyft drivers.

Directly OnDemand aims to
• Empower Lyft drivers to succeed throughout their driver journey
