Yes - Lyft contributed the overwhelming majority of the new data back into OSM. The only exceptions were layers that didn't meet OSM community standards for various technical reasons.

If you had any pull in that decision, well done. You made the world a little bit better for everyone. Can't ask for much more than that sometimes.
Thanks for making the contributions, we all benefit!
your team contributed more OSM changes than .. who? everyone else in the whole world?
They're saying "we contributed the overwhelming majority of the data we collected and corrected, except for that which wasn't eligible for contribution." It really seems like Lyft operated in good faith here, they just didn't mention it in the blog post.
I'm pretty sure he meant that Lyft contributed the overwhelming majority of the changes they made to OSM.
some people's reading comprehension...
