Party of six? Lyft's got you, bro
Lyft's finally making its six-seater Plus service available everywhere it operates in the US, after months of initial testing in San Francisco. Even better, it now costs just 50 percent more than typical Lyft rides, instead of twice as much like when it launched in SF. As you've probably guessed, though, that lower price comes with a downside, one that will disappoint anyone expecting to ride in style. While those lucky San Franciscans can hail only souped-up, moustache-wearing Ford Explorers through Lyft Plus, the special service includes any kind of six-seater SUV or minivan in other locations. It's too bad you can't always get power outlets and Spotify Premium access with your ride, but a soccer mom's van is still better that your buddy's rickety jalopy, isn't it?
Lyft's new premium service hauls you around in high-tech style
So you're out on the town with five of your best buddies, and you want a posh ride to the next party without paying a premium for Uber SUV or a limo. Are you stuck? Not after today -- Lyft has unveiled Plus, a high-end service which promises luxuriant ridesharing that won't hit your bank account quite so hard. Choose the new tier and a customized Ford Explorer will show up with room for six and one of the company's better-rated drivers. It's a technology haven on the inside, to boot. You get power outlets to recharge your gadgets, and drivers have Spotify Premium access to handle your song requests.
