[IL-Talk] Suggestions about Using Lyft

[dan.tevelde at comcast.net]

Hi All,

 

I am running into a few issues with drivers. When they pick me up I can't
find the car and they don't seem to understand my text messages. Many of the
drivers don't speak English so it is hard to tell if they are taking me to
the correct address. I use Aira to schedule Lyft but sometimes the
connection drops or they can't find the driver either. Someone mentioned
using a shortcut in the Lyft app to send a message to the driver notifying
them I am blind and that they will need to identify themselves by speaking
or honking their horn. Traveling has become a real challenge. I don't
usually have a sighted person who can take me on errands and I hate
bothering people.

 

Thanks,

Dan
