Driving for a ride-hailing company is a job rife with challenges. Difficult passengers, short and self-imposed breaks, and a lack of bathroom options mean that every dollar is truly hard-earned.

With a new $100 million investment, Lyft is trying to mitigate the stress involved with the work. The company already has 15 "hubs" nationwide, where drivers can grab coffee, get a heavily discounted oil change or car wash, and use a clean bathroom. Now, the company plans to add 30 more nationwide.

There's already one in operation in San Francisco, but there's no word on whether an additional hub will be placed in the Bay Area.

Lyft will also add more operating hours for the previously opened hubs. They had been open for between 35 to 40 hours a week; now they'll be increasing operating hours to up to 70 hours per week.

Hubs will also offer more financial services, like information on filing taxes, renting cars, and "career support," per The Verge.

According to a Medium post by Lyft COO Jon McNeill, he and the company are "excited to raise the bar again by providing drivers with an incredible in-person experience."

"To that end, we're designing the new hubs to foster these connections at scale," he writes. "Drivers can reserve space to host skill-sharing meetups, like how to earn more tips or drive in a new city, or network around common interests like volunteering or entrepreneurship."

Lyft hasn't yet announced where these new hubs will be placed.
