Pro tips for riders:

1. You should not continue to see prompts to enable location access. If you do, update your smartphone settings:

iPhone settingsAndroid settings

 

2. The top dropdown menu lists your favorite routes, which are automatically created.

You can rename your favorites – such as "Ride to Work" or "Ride Home" –  on your profile. You can also view that route's current driver and rider signup status.
