Lisa,
I am not aware that such has happened. It has to do with the Lyft API, not
Aira.

Michael,
Has Lyft agreed to allow Aira to help Explorers and guests when requesting
Lyft Pool?

Jordan,
If you are an subscribed Aira explorer you can use Aira to schedule and
monitor a Lyft ride. At present that is the only option.

It is possible to use aira and lyft together? I use the Aira app on my
phone, however, I am not an explorer. I also use lyft quite often.d

voiceover slaughters aisan and and other names making it difficult to
ascertain the individual's actual name at times. Also, ascertaining the
driver's gender is not fail-safe. Thus far, I've had no serious issues with
drivers. Perhaps one driver who may have needed a med adjustment, but
all-in-all, with a few thousand rides under my belt, I'm satisfied with my
safety.
