Riders and drivers have a new rideshare option in Winnipeg. Lyft has officially launched in Winnipeg to help riders commute, catch a flight, meet up with friends and family or explore the city of Winnipeg.


What is Lyft?

Similar to Uber, Lyft is a rideshare service where people share rides booked through a mobile app. The app will connect passengers with drivers who use their own personal vehicles to provide the ride. These platforms also allow users to request a ride on-demand, showing them the estimated fare and arrival time before they book.

Rideshare services are often cheaper than traditional taxis because they use a dynamic pricing model that adjusts fares based on demand, availability, and distance. Additionally, rideshare apps include features like GPS tracking, driver ratings, and the option to split fares with other riders, making them a convenient and customizable alternative for transportation.
