My Fellow Carpool Passengers

source; google images

I take Lyft Line as much as I can, since it reduces my costs (I mean, I know I'm still splurging by avoiding/being lazy about Muni), and since San Francisco is really not that big that a carpool would seriously delay me. I come across lots of different people riding Lyft Line. Presented, some of them, without (much) comment:
  • the two people who I joined when we all got off Caltrain, and someone remarked, Lyft is like the school bus for adults
  • the girl who joined carrying an Hermes shopping bag
  • the guy coming back from a fancy restaurant who told me i HAD to go to the wine shop in our neighborhood if i really wanted to be a local
  • the guy coming from a business dinner who remained silent and I think may have used the carpool feature by accident
  • the guy and his visiting mom, on their way to church - mom is asking him about his bank account and about buying a new mattress
  • the girl leaving happy hour to go home and walk her dog
  • the couple eating Escape from NY pizza in the back seat (perhaps my favorite so far)
  • the girl whose one-night-stand ordered a SHARED cab for her
  • the guy who just moved from NY to SF and works with a friend of mine
  • the guy who just moved from NY to SF to move in with a boyfriend, and then got dumped and now needs to find a new place to live
