About

Lyft was founded in June 2012 by Logan Green and John Zimmer to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. Lyft is the fastest growing rideshare company in the U.S. and is available to 95 percent of the US population. Lyft is preferred by drivers and passengers for its safe and friendly experience, and its commitment to effecting positive change for the future of our cities. There are six ways to ride with Lyft. Lyft Classic, Lyft Plus, and in select cities, Lyft Line, Premier, Lux, and Lux SUV. Lyft Line connects you with other passengers along your route. When you share a ride, you pay a discounted price. Lyft Plus seats 6 or more. Lyft Premier adds a little luxury to your ride. Premier matches you with a high-end sedan or SUV like a BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Lexus ES, or Cadillac Escalade. Lyft Lux is a premium black car service limited to only the most luxurious makes and models, and Lyft Lux SUV is the same service for up to six passengers.
