Game Changers | Lyft Launches “Wait & Save” Program

The good folks over at Lyft are back in the news, offering more affordable rides in the process. Lyft has launched the “Wait & Save” program, which replaces its previous Shared Rides feature. The new program from the rideshare giant provides a more affordable option for users when needed. The program was announced in a recent blog post, which says that it hopes to provide its riders with a cheaper alternative. The rideshare platform’s Shared Rides feature had to be put on hold thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Lyft’s blog post reads: “To help slow the spread of COVID-19, we paused Shared Rides in all markets.” It goes on to explain, “This was the right thing to do, but it also removed our most affordable ride option. To ensure riders still had a more affordable option, we launched Wait & Save, a new pilot where riders can opt for a longer wait time but pay a lower fare than for a Standard ride, while drivers earn the same as they do for a Standard ride.” Lyft hasn’t provided any details on how the new feature will work.

However, it’s presumed that the option will put you on a priority list behind Standard users. The company also stated: “As the COVID-19 situation intensifies, it’s clear that Lyft provides access to transportation for essential services, and is a lifeline for many communities.” The post continued, “As the COVID-19 situation intensifies, it’s clear that Lyft provides access to transportation for essential services, and is a lifeline for many communities.”
