Lyft, the popular ride-share company, announced last month it would launch Lyft Line in six of its fastest growing markets: Denver, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle and Newark. The company created Line in 2014 to “offer affordable everyday transportation. Line connects you with others going the same way, so you split the price — which is always less than original Lyft.” Line first started in San Francisco, and it will soon be rolled out in 15 cities across the United States, including the six markets launched in April. Line makes up 40 percent of total rides in communities where Line is also available; it’s especially useful for those going to the airport and is likely to be increasingly helpful as more and more airports allow ride-share companies to operate. “Lyft’s mission is to make our communities better by bringing positive change to transportation — Lyft Line is the heart of that movement,” said Logan Green, co-founder and CEO, Lyft. “We are growing and scaling at an incredible pace, which means that we can offer Lyft Line in more markets. Today’s news means that we now offer 25% of Americans the option to affordably share their rides through Lyft Line, which means fewer cars on the road across the U.S.”
