Introducing the team We are a team a graduate product design and design management students that brought together our individual skill sets to research the culture of Lyft in Savannah. Each member had their own culturally different suggestions and ideas. We went through the contextual research processes collaboratively to come up with some innovative design concepts. Also, we love baklava.
Scope of the project Team Lyft spent 10 weeks to research and develop design offerings to help improve the Lyft experience in Savannah. We spent the first four weeks designing our contextual research using research tools and interviewing our stakeholders. We collected information through cultural probes to get a wide variety of responses. We then spent a week to bridge the data collected through thesis tools into data analysis. Week 5-7 was dedicated to turning data analysed into insights and framing solutions. We spent the last two weeks on prototyping and preparing to exhibit our final design strategies and concepts to our clients at the final showcase. P.1

Methods of Observation Our team’s research was grounded in an ethnographic approach. We cultivated our skills of observation and focused on the behaviors of potential users. Analysis of patterns of behavior, paired with an understanding of cultural context, provided the foundation for impactful design solutions.

Contexts have stakeholders (individuals or organizations) that have an investment, whether personal, ďŹ nancial, or otherwise. Among them are companies, partners, competitors, regulatory agencies, trade associations, and similar entities. It is valuable to map out all the stakeholders involved in the context so that their relationships can be better understood. It is also useful to understand how stakeholders derive value from the context. This helps explain their motivations and interactions. It also helps us think about how stakeholders may be affected when changes happen to the context when new innovations are introduced.

SUCCESS TIME LINE Lyft is a peer-to-peer transportation platform that connects passengers who need rides with drivers willing to provide rides using their own personal vehicles. Lyft was started in 2012 with the mission of building a peer-to-peer transportation solution that would help make cities safer, more affordable and better connected. Lyft now operates in 68 cities across the U.S.

WHAT IS LYFT? When using Lyft, passengers have three options when it comes to choosing their ride: Lyft: the original offering that matches a passenger (and their friends) with a driver nearby; Lyft Line (currently available in San Francisco and Los Angeles): shared rides along shared routes, priced for daily use. Once passengers set their destination, Lyft will connect them to a ride already going the same way; and Lyft Plus: Lyft's six-passenger ride for when passengers need more space, or want to roll with more of their friends.

Concept 1 The true map is to transparentize information about accurate location of drives and ways that drivers are driving on.

True Map With TrueMap, Lyft drivers can see the locations of other drivers and the approximate location of Lyft users. This allows drivers to strategically select their work area to avoid undue competition amongst drivers and to expand accessibility to passengers outside known hubs. Drivers who pick up riders outside of dense population areas recieve a bonus. For riders, TrueMap also introduces a game-like feature. The TrueMap will highlight destinations that earn passengers points towards promotions offered by the partnering location or business. The feature will also track frequent rider points.
Why it’s needed Naturally improve the efficiency of Lyft pick-ups and encourage drivers to broaden the geographic neighborhoods they serve. As partnerships develop, the TrueMap platform is malleable enough to integrate new features. Partners benefit from access to the Lyft client market, and no cost is incurred by Lyft. The TrueMap will highlight events, festivals, bars, restaurants, and museums. The passenger experience goes beyond the ride. P.101

Assist Lyft Assists appears as an optional field for users to communicate specific needs, concerns, or simply apprehensions while booking their ride. The Lyft driver caters to customer needs, accepts the ride and is able to help.
Why it’s needed Going that extra step makes all the difference for passengers A communication channel between the passenger and driver can clarify and set expectations prior to the ride. Getting extra information from passengers will allow drivers to respond to the requests that play to their strengths. Emphasis on community-focused qualities will enhance the brand’s strength and increase Lyft’s accessibility.

Travel Plan When booking vacation accommodations, packages can include Lyft rides and tours. Passengers can enjoy the option of booking Lyft for a block of time to enjoy an extended outing with their party. This feature recognizes when a user is in a new area and offers local recommendations.
Why it’s needed Lyft offers transportation that is familiar and reliable, and eliminating the need for passengers to navigate new systems Offers riders a personalized itinerary and the flexibility of a personal car without the hassle of car ownership or rental. An affordable alternative to specialized tour bookings and access to local services. Development of partnerships in hospitality and tourism industries.

Car Pool This feature would sync with your calendar and offer you carpool options based on schedule and destination patterns. Your ride would automatically arrive on time daily. A prompt to keep or cancel your ride would be received prior to arrival, and a partial refund made available. Weekly or monthly subscriptions offer reduced transportation costs.
Why it’s needed Professionals are interested in carpool options that are reliable Transportation needs to be flexible to allow for long work hours or unexpected family obligations. Public transportation is a last resort due to unreliability, inconvenience and safety concerns.

Booking Booth/Kiosk Order your next ride from a Lyft Hub, conveniently installed at key locations including airports, malls, and civic centers. The Hubs eliminate the requirement to have a phone or credit card and make the brand a visible and accessible fixture.
