So here's what's really cool.

So Lyft was primarily a domestic company up until about a year ago.

Maybe call it 18 months ago.

Then we started to expand in Canada.

That's gone very well now.

We acquired a company called FreeNow and a couple of other

companies overseas.

Okay, what's happened since then?

We're in the process of transforming ourself to a truly global company.

Some of that is internal stuff, back of the house.

multi-currency, GDPR, all these sorts of things.

But we're also beginning to introduce new functionality to customers.

So I was just in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago.

I was very lucky to be there.

I got a chance to check out on our beta app the ability to use the Lyft app, not a new app, but the Lyft app, to hail local supply, local taxi cab in Barcelona.

I did it four times.

It worked flawlessly.

So good, because I don't have to do a different app.

I already know the user interface and so forth and so on.

FreeNow, the company we acquired, they're also growing now, too, because of some of the innovation, the technology we've been able to add to their stack.
