Lyft will give free and half-price rides to the polls on election day

That’s stupid af. Why would they leave that out of the article?

I guess it’s still better than paying for the entire trip out-of-pocket, but I don’t see it being enough of an incentive to really help. At least not as much help as someone providing busses, or something.

Reading through Cory’s source article, it sounds like they are trying to do a good thing… just not being great at the follow through.

Now that I’ve also followed the link you provided, and read the page three times, I have to say I’m not seeing anywhere where they are saying they aren’t providing a ride back at half-price or free; to be fair, I also don’t see anything saying they are. It’s also possible the page has been updated since you linked to it.

Or it could be a reading fail on my part.
