David Goss is a loyal RideAustin rider, often using the ride-sharing company to run errands or for getting around town for leisure trips on the weekends. The Austin-based ride-hailing nonprofit has managed to stay in business since Uber and Lyft returned to the market last year. He uses his smartphone to request a driver and the app gives him an up-to-the-minute location of the driver.(Ralph Barrera/Austin American-Statesman/TNS)
