`Does Lyft have locations elsewhere in Texas?
`Q
`Elsewhere in Texas. Sorry. Yes, we do. We have four
`A
`offices. One in Irving. One in Houston. One in Austin. And
`one in San Antonio.
`Q
`And just to reiterate, none of those locations are in
`the Eastern District of Texas; correct?
`A
`That's correct.
`Q
`And all of the information that you gave about Lyft,
`presence or lack thereof in the Eastern District of Texas,
`that's true of today; is that correct?
`A
`That's correct.
`Q
`Is it true from January 2021 through today?
`A
`It is. We had another site earlier this year in Euless,
`Texas, which is not in the Eastern District.
`Q
`There's been a lot of talk, you are heard us talking
`about an Express Drive location in Plano, Texas; specifically,
`at 928 West Spring Creek Parkway. Are you familiar with this
`location?
`A
`I am.
`Q
`Is that location -- or is that address, rather, in the
`Eastern District of Texas?
`A
`It is.
`Q
`And at that address is the location of a Pep Boys store;
`is that correct?
`A
`That's correct.

`And at some point in the past Lyft operated an Express
`Q
`Drive location inside that Pep Boys store; correct?
`A
`That's correct.
`Q
`What did Lyft use the Express Drive location for in
`Plano?
`That location was used to facilitate the rental program
`A
`with Hertz primarily.
`Q
`And there were Lyft employees there to facility the
`rental program with Hertz; correct?
`A
`That's correct. One to two employees.
`Q
`Is that Plano Express Drive location currently
`operating?
`A
`No, it is not.
`Q
`And, roughly, when did the Plano Express Drive location
`cease operations?
`A
`In August of 2019.
`Q
`And we heard some discussion earlier about the exact
`day. It's fair to say you don't known exactly which day in
`August it closed, but you know it closed in August; correct?
`A
`That's correct. It would have been around that
`timeframe, that's correct.
`Q
`Why did it close?
`A
`I do not know the specific reason for that exact site.
`But I know, generally, these type of sites come and go for
`various reasons. Some of these reasons could be just overall

`relations with the company at a nation level. Some,
`operationally, constraints could develop. So for, you know,
`example, it just doesn't make sense operationally. There are
`better sites or just less visitors. There's various reasons
`that could cause a site to open or close.
`Q
`Stepping back and looking at all of the Eastern District
`of Texas, does Lyft have any Express Drive locations currently
`in the Eastern District of Texas?
`A
`No, we do not.
`Q
`Again, from January 2021, when this lawsuit was filed
`until today, has Lyft had any Express Drive locations in the
`Eastern District of Texas?
`A
`We have not.
`Q
`In fact, as you testified earlier, Lyft doesn't have any
`offices or locations in the Eastern District of Texas; is that
`correct?
`A
`That's correct.
`MR. RUBINO: Objection. Leading.
`BY MR. TAYLOR:
`Does Lyft have users in the Eastern District of Texas?
`Q
`Yes. If you refer to users, for example, riders on the
`A
`platform, yes.
`Q
`Riders and drivers; right? Both can use Lyft's
`application; correct?
`A
`That's correct.

`THE COURT: No. I just did not want to use the wrong
`term without knowing it.
`MR. TAYLOR: Thank you, Your Honor.
`THE COURT: All right. Thank you, Mr. Taylor.
`Well, I appreciate the arguments and the evidence. They
`have been helpful. You have given me a lot to consider, and I
`will try to get a ruling out on this motion promptly.
`So, with that, we're adjourned. Thank you.
