On demand economy: Lyft; a friendly way to get to point-b



(WITI) -- Ridesharing has become a very acceptable way to get around a busy city. Lyft refers to itself as a friendlier alternative and drivers are connecting with passengers in unique ways. One other difference, passengers are able to tip drivers directly from the app.

Laura says that driving for Lyft has helped her become debt free. She likes that she is able to visit her family whenever she would like to.

Lyft is available in 60 cities and counting.
