The science is in: According to a new Pew study, young adults are literally driving the growth of ride-hailing apps like San Francisco-based companies Uber and Lyft, and Via, a ride-hailing app founded in Israel. Now Waze, a popular navigation app from Israel, is joining the carpool frenzy.

When someone's driving you around, your hands are free to tweet about the fact that someone's driving you around. We've gathered together some of the funniest ride-sharing tweets for your amusement.

Getting into my last LA uber on this trip. He's playing T-Pain. Takes one look at me. Changes music to Ed Sheeran.

When Waze asks me when I'm driving if I'm a passenger I'm lying. I'm driving and using waze at the same time. Just keep living y'all!
