4.10.15 - Ridesharing is what Rochester residents need
"I’m a partially disabled Vietnam veteran, and because of my disability I’m not able to commit to a full-time job. I’m currently living on VA disability and Social Security payments. I’m always looking for a way to supplement my income, but because of my disability that can be quite a tall order.
I was a Lyft driver for only a short period of time (until the app was forced to stop operating here in Rochester), and it couldn’t have been more of a benefit to my wife and me. I signed up to become a driver almost immediately when I saw information about it online. Working for Lyft was like a dream come true. In addition to helping to boost my income, I had full control over the hours I chose to drive, which meant I could make my weekday appointments with the VA."
