Lyft might build a ‘zen mode’ to let drivers know you don’t feel like chatting

Ride-sharing apps are a godsend, but they sometimes come at a cost that goes beyond the $8 or $10 you spent to get home from the club. Chatty drivers can turn every ride into an awkward simulacrum of a first date. Where are you from? How long have you lived here? What do you do for work?Of course, many of these icebreakers lead to great conversations. I genuinely enjoy chatting with the incredibly nice people who are taking time out of their day to drive me, on demand, to a place of my choosing
