"I have two mainstays in DC that rarely disappoint - Capitol Hill and the college scene. We Lyft drivers in DC are fortunate to have what I call "Polywood" (Hollywood for politics). Not only are you likely to pick up power-players like Nancy Pelosi, but White House and Congressional Staffers who work tirelessly well into the night.," said Guice. "Also, I grossly underestimated how much of a college town Washington DC is. With over twenty colleges and universities just in DC alone, I am never at a loss for rides. (However, this can really be felt during the summer and holidays when the students go home.) That's when I head to the burbs - suburbanites need love, too."
