rideshare drivers have amusing stuff to share with their fare, like "what kind of a ride would you like" menu to choose from

1. The Awkward Ride - You ignore this menu completely, then we will sit in silence for the remainder of the ride. 
 2. The Funny Ride - I tell you jokes or entertaining stories from my life. 
 3. The Silent Ride - 
 4. The Creepy Ride - I don't say anything but I keep staring at you in the rearview mirror. 
 5. The Karaoke Ride - We rock out to hits from the 80s, early 2000s or literally whatever you want. 
 6. The Bubbles Ride - We blow bubbles the whole time. 
 7. The Small Talk Ride - We talk about how crazy the weather's been lately and I ask if you caught the game last night. 
 8. The Therapy Ride - You vent to me about your problems and I listen. 
 9. The Drunk Ride - You throw up in my car. 
 10. The Cliche Ride - You ask me how long I've been driving for Lyft." 

 more options I'd like to see:
 The Pep Talk Ride - You need encouragement? I'll give you everything I've got to pump you up. 
 The Tour Guide Ride - I share interesting details about places we pass and offer advice on cool things to do around the area. 
 The Life Story Ride - We estimate how long your ride will be, set a timer, and each of us shares our life story for half the ride. (No questions, unless the ride goes longer.) 
 The Deep Questions Ride - We skip the small talk and get right to the big stuff—meaning of life, existence of God, our place in the universe, etc. 
 The High School Debate Ride - We pick a controversy, flip a coin to decide who will take which side, and debate regardless of our own personal views. 
 The Pretend Persona Ride - We each make up totally fake names and personas and converse as them so we can chat without actually getting personal at all.

  1. This is funny. Especially growing up in NYC where people take many a cab ride. Like it or not, we listened to the cabbie or took his advice.
