Human Capital

"The training, experience, judgement, intelligence, relationships, and insight of the individuals workers at a firm."

Lyft has been able to secure access to an amazing workforce, simply by opening to door to so many backgrounds and expertise levels. I've used the company a number of times, and I never am not amazed by the unique stories I hear from drivers regarding their backgrounds.

For example in a major metropolitan city, here are the stats on how many drivers exist:

"The total number of transportation network company (TNC) drivers between Lyft, UberX and Sidecar in Seattle is approximately 3,000."

Even though the below chart is from their competitor Uber, it shows the scope of what's going on.
