Internet-based transport applications are now a convenient traffic solution for people who seek comfortable rides. As more and more people use them, some drivers get the chance of giving celebrities a ride.

If anything, since the rise of these apps, transportation has been easier not only for ordinary people but also for celebrities, which most likely explains why they are typically eager to grant their helpful drivers the selfies they request.
