For example, If I walk downtown and take pictures of business doors to capture address, name, and hours for use in updating OSM but don't upload those pics - I consider that acceptable. For Lyft to make their imagery public they would have to insure that nothing private, such as faces, license plates, etc. I'm sure they don't want the added cost required make them public.
