Rail company Amtrak and ride-hailing service Lyft teamed to allow an easier method of transportation to and from train stations, making it easier to go more places.

Travelers can use Amtrak’s mobile app to request a ride via a connection to the Lyft app. First-time Lyft users are eligible to receive $5 off each of their first four Lyft rides by using promotional code AMTRAKLYFT.

“We’re looking forward to working with Amtrak. As a fixture of American travel, Amtrak makes it simple and convenient for passengers, something Lyft feels passionately about as well,” said David Baga, chief business officer, Lyft. “Both companies have a long-standing commitment to supporting communities we serve and we’re excited to grow together.”

The partnership will help travelers reach their destinations quickly and safely. Lyft operates in more than 360 communities across the United States, covering 80 percent of the population and reaching 97 percent of Amtrak riders. The current partnership parameters between the two companies are likely to expand in the future, as both companies are interested in improving the travel experience and connecting the communities served.

The partnership is just the beginning, as both companies share a commitment to improving travel across the 46-state Amtrak network.
