Lyft is bringing rider verification to the entire nation
Briefly

Lyft is launching its driver verification program nationwide after testing it in nine cities, ensuring that riders’ identities are validated for enhanced safety.
The rider verification system allows for cross-referencing names against a database, and if discrepancies arise, riders can upload government IDs for validation.
In addition to the verification feature, Lyft is introducing quality-of-life improvements, including alerts for drivers about passenger locations and navigation adjustments for safer routes.
Lyft's new upgrades also aim to assist drivers with practical needs, such as a restroom finder and real-time road alerts for traffic incidents.
