Launched three years after Uber, Lyft was originally a long-distance car-pooling business, launched by Logan Green and John Zimmer. While Zimride, named after the transportation culture in Zimbabwe (the co-founder’s last name is a coincidence), was the largest app of its type, both co-founders quickly started looking for ways to improve daily engagement.
The solution was to begin offering shorter rides in cities, with passengers and drivers connecting. It wasn’t long before the Zimride service mimicked Uber, although Lyft originally tried to foster more of a friendly, non-commercial approach to the service.
Lyft expanded quickly in the US, from 60 cities in 201 to 300 in 2017, however, Uber was much quicker in its international expansion, planting its flag in almost Rider激活2024.1.2 every country that would allow it. This left Lyft in the shadow of Uber and unknown to anyone outside of the US.

It wasn’t until the Cancel Uber campaign that Lyft started eating into Uber’s marketshare in the US. Lyft went from 22 to 33 percent market share in the US from 2017 to 2018, although that growth has cooled off, with the company achieving 29 percent market share in 2020.
Lyft launched several initiatives that attempted to paint its service in a more positive light, as Uber was chastised for its employment model. This appears to have worked, as Lyft has molded itself as the scrappy underdog, winning over those who have had bad experiences with Uber.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Lyft was heavily impacted, with its ride-hailing businesses declining by 36 percent in the year and completing 80 percent less rides in April 2020 than the previous year. It has still not surpassed its peak quarterly revenue, which it reached in Q4 2019.
Unlike Uber, Lyft didn’t have anything to fall back on during that time, as Uber did with its food delivery business. It recently launched a subscription service, which provides riders with faster pickup, scheduling and assistance getting into the vehicle.
Similar to Uber, Lyft had a self-driving division and saw the future as one in which a human driver would no longer be necessary. However, it sold its division to Toyota in April 2021 for $550 million, citing the high costs of producing and testing self-driving vehicles.
