Lyft connects passengers with drivers through a mobile app, primarily serving urban commuters, students, and tourists in the United States and Canada. The platform offers various ride options, including standard, luxury, and shared rides, catering to different customer preferences. Drivers use their own vehicles to provide services, and Lyft earns revenue by taking a commission from each ride fare. In addition to car rides, Lyft also provides bike and scooter rentals, and has a subscription service called Lyft Pink that offers benefits for a monthly fee. The company emphasizes safety and community guidelines to ensure a secure experience for users, while also supporting drivers with flexible payment options. Lyft's goal is to provide reliable transportation solutions while exploring self-driving technology and maintaining a diverse revenue stream.
