Lyft

Lyft is a rideshare company that has been around since 2012. It has been gradually increasing in popularity, to the point where it is now able to compete with Uber. Lyft is the second most popular rideshare company in the United States. Lyft has a pink mustache as a symbol, which is a nod to the traditional taxi company that has a similar painting on the front of their cars.

Features

Lyft has an app that is available for both Apple and Android phones. The application is free, and it will work in most areas of the US. The application allows for easy ridesharing, without having to ask the driver for their personal information. Lyft drivers are also screened by the company, and they are thoroughly checked before they enter the Lyft system.

Lyft is different from Uber in that it offers ‘social ride’ services. This means that when you request a ride, you will be assigned a driver who is taking his or her own personal time. This lowers the chances of a driver cancelling on you and also makes for a more enjoyable experience. In addition, Lyft offers a few different types of ride services. There is the standard service, which is the same as Uber, and the Premier service, which offers larger and luxury vehicles.

Design

The app is always pink, which is a nice change from the traditional black and white. The design of Lyft is very different from that of Uber. Lyft is an app that is designed to be much more personalized. You can see your driver on a map and follow their car as it moves towards you. When you are requesting a ride, the app will show you the picture and name of the driver as they come to pick you up.
