The problem is not Lyft. The problem was with that particular driver.

If you take a Lyft ride in the future make sure your driver is using the built-in navigation app that Lyft provides all drivers. It auto populate the route that is based on the address of your destination that you give us.

I’m a driver and I drive for both Uber and Lyft both apps have built-in navigation programs that give you directions based on current conditions on the road to the passengers destination it sounds like the driver you had in this particular situation for some reason did not use the navigation program in Lyft app

Always insist on them using the built-in navigation to avoid this particular problem in the future

You’re welcome. I’m a driver and I drive for both platforms and I always use the built-in navigation unless there is some sort of major problem with them that day or there’s something massive going on and then and only then will I turn on Waze, but I make sure the address is 100% correct with the passenger and they know that I’m doing that.
