About Lyft
You might recognize Lyft from that time you needed a last minute airport ride, ordered a ride home on an epic night out, or wisely chose to skip parking at a jam-packed event. Lyft is one of the leading rideshare companies, operating in all 50 states and Canada. Many drivers start driving with Lyft because of its flexibility, bonus offers, and ability to cash out earnings at any time, as well as unique features like Women+ Connect*.
Lyft started its Women+ Connect initiative to help women and nonbinary drivers and riders feel more in-control of their ride experience. Women and nonbinary drivers in the US can activate the feature in the Lyft Driver app to increase their chances of matching with more women and nonbinary riders. Features like this are meant to increase flexible earning opportunities for parents, students, retirees, and anyone looking to turn free time into extra spending money.
