Stand in solidarity with taxi drivers against exploitation

Audio By Vocalize

In Drinking from Graveyard Wells, a short story anthology by Yvette Lisa Ndlovu, the reader encounters an embellished account of the story behind the creation of Lyft, one of the more popular ride-hailing apps. In it, Ndlovu details the proprietor's travel to Zimbabwe, where he encounters a shortage of public transportation due to a fuel shortage.

He is then introduced by the locals to the concept of asking for a lift from a total stranger driving in the same direction that one is headed towards, and it is explained to him that the ethos behind this generosity is one of ubuntu.
