That is interesting. I would bet that Uber/Lyft are not homogenous across the US (or other other countries for that matter) but it may also come down to the fact that I am normally very open even with strangers. I feel awkward when there is silence and I won't fill it with awkward talking but I still don't like it. This is one of the big reasons I don't like taxis, I don't know how best to explain it but I guess the best way is I feel like I'm being rude if I just get in the car, tell them where I want to go, then stay silent the whole ride. I may be alone, or in the minority, for this but yeah... I also love to talk so that's why I quite like the Lyft friendly, sit-in-the-front-seat experience.
Thanks for chiming in with your experience! I'd like to hear what other people have to say about this as well.
