According to the case, the company's business model is rooted in recruiting new drivers and retaining as many current Lyft drivers as possible, even when they're the subject of accusations of sexual abuse. The plaintiffs charge that Lyft has failed to implement stricter driver screening processes and supervision because such would negatively impact its bottom line. "The key to Lyft's business model is getting as many new Lyft drivers on the road as possible," the complaint reads. "The more Lyft drivers and Lyft rides equals more money Lyft makes. Unfortunately, more careful screening and supervision would result in fewer drivers and lower profits." Lyft drivers, the suit alleges, are hired "without any real screening" after filling out an online form and passing a name-based background check that the case describes as "designed for speed, not safety."
