      How do I convince my Lyft rides and food delivery guys to use that though?

        Lyft actually uses and even contributes to Openstreetmap

        Most delivery companies actually use OpenStreetMap in Europe. Especially if they deliver with bicycles, since OpenStreetMap has much more accurate mapping for bikes. Especially bike lanes and very often also smoothness, ground material. And also if bikes are allowed on the opposite direction of a one way street.
