Some of our favorite rider/driver stories on social media are about bonding over a favorite song, discovering a new album, or learning a new artist,” said Chaia Raibon, Senior Social Lead at Lyft. “We wanted to take it beyond ‘passing the aux’ and invite artists, like Young Thug, to elevate our ride experience and really engage with fans.”
