I’ve noticed that apps like Uber and Lyft are quite popular, but we don’t really have a place to put them. We have more general articles like Use a Ridesharing App, but I’m going to list more specific articles because it’s hard to pick through and find every single ridesharing article we have right now.

For the sole sake of making this easier to read, I’ve broken this up into “categories”, of Lyft and Uber, with Uber first:

  • Use Uber
  • Apply to Become an Uber Driver
  • Make an Uber Reservation
  • Sign up for Uber
  • Give Uber Credit As a Gift
  • Hire an Uber Car
  • Cancel an Uber Account
  • Estimate Your Uber Fare
  • Check Your Uber Passenger Rating
  • Request Multiple Uber Vehicles
  • Use Uber Without the Uber App
  • Add a Credit Card to Uber Account
  • Share an Uber Account
  • Call an Uber for Someone Else
  • Earn Uber Credits
  • Use Uber with an International Phone
  • Verify Your Uber Account
  • Use Uber Without a Credit Card
  • Change Your Uber Payment Details
  • Make Money As an Uber Driver
  • Protect Your Uber Account Information
  • Use a Credit Card with Multiple Uber Accounts
  • Create Shortcuts on Uber
  • Use Uber to Get to Work
  • Check an Uber Driver’s Rating
  • Request an Uber or Lyft Ride with Facebook Messenger

Here are the Lyft ones:

  • Use Lyft
  • Change Your Credit Card Information on Lyft
  • Request a Lyft Car for Someone Else
  • Create a Lyft Account
  • Leave a Lyft Review
  • Bring a Pet on a Lyft Ride
  • Request an Uber or Lyft Ride with Facebook Messenger
  • Invite Friends to Use Lyft
  • Get Free First Time Lyft Credits
  • Call for a Lyft Car
  • Request a Ride Price Review on Lyft

It’s a lot, so can it be considered, maybe? I know category requests aren’t the biggest priority right now, but there are a lot of these articles and plenty of them are getting miscategorized or put into categories that don’t exist.

Thanks GR, great suggestion. I will add this to the list of must-dos. I am keeping track of all requests made and will get to them shortly.

I considered this request to be more urgent than the others at this point in time due to the popularity of the topic and the amount of articles sprawled across the site, so I went ahead and actioned it. You will likely find Uber (and maybe Lyft) articles I’ve missed as there seem to be so many of them but now they have a home. Thanks for the heads up on a pertinent topic.

And just a note: Please don’t take this as a precedent of fast reactivity to a sub-category request. It takes time to consider the structure as a whole and often requests come in a way that don’t account for interactions with other sub-cats. As I work through strengthening the Category Tree, the interactions need to be considered in a measured way, which is why some of the other requests are on hold until I am deeper in the relevant categories. I am keeping in mind all that is asked here and they will be reached in due time. Thanks for your understanding.

Eh, I don’t know how I manage to get weird formatting in my paragraph, sorry folks.
