Lyft To Resume Shared Trips In Phases Subject To Health Protocols

July 15, 2021 11:22 AM | 1 min read |

Lyft Inc's LYFT consumers in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Denver, can avail shared rides from Monday, the company said in a blog.
Lyft had pulled the shared rides since Mar. 2020 owing to COVID-19.
Now, it aimed to win back the price-conscious passengers as costs surged due to lower driver supply. The longer the wait, the higher the discounts.
However, the company mandated wearing masks, and every ride will carry a maximum of two passengers.
Riders will also have to maintain seating distance and other pandemic protocols.
Price action: LYFT shares traded lower by 0.02% at $55.83 on the last check Thursday.
