Wait longer for a cheaper and more direct ride
As the coronavirus pandemic headed towards its global peak, ride-hailing companies took away the option to order more affordable shared rides that placed them in close contact with strangers. Starting next Monday, Lyft will pilot a modified shared experience that incentivizes longer wait times with faster routes at lower prices.
