Lyft

About

Lyft is a ride-hailing app that connects riders with drivers across Greater Boston and in cities around the country. Riders can request a car on demand or schedule one ahead, for a morning commute or a late-night trip home, and choose a ride type that fits the moment, from standard rides to spacious XL vehicles, Extra Comfort, Black and Black SUV. Riders also earn rewards on every trip.

Founded in San Francisco in 2012 by Logan Green and John Zimmer, Lyft has grown into one of the largest rideshare platforms in the United States. Drivers set their own schedules, keep all of their tips and can cash out instantly. Safety features run from before a ride begins through the trip, with customizable tools for added peace of mind. The Lyft Pink membership adds priority pickup upgrades, member savings and free cancellations.
