Скачать или смотреть The retiree who stepped up to drive an entire town

In the small city of Macomb, Illinois, one Lyft driver has become a crucial part of the community’s transportation — and social — infrastructure. She wakes up before sunrise because people depend on her to get to work, or the train, or the doctor, or the grocery store. On the rare occasions she can’t drive, she ensures that another driver can cover for her because people need her. She’s become a local celebrity — and a beloved town booster, encouraging riders to visit local businesses and even giving them gift cards to help them do so.

In this video, we profile how a woman who drives with Lyft gives back to the community she loves — and we highlight the grateful city that would, quite literally, be stuck without her.
