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.

In addition to car rides, Lyft provides bike and scooter rentals and has a subscription service called Lyft Pink, which offers benefits like ride discounts. The company emphasizes safety and community guidelines to ensure a secure experience for users and supports drivers with flexible payment options. Lyft's goal is to provide versatile transportation solutions while maintaining a steady income through diverse revenue streams.
