Lyft took a major step towards building a more inclusive and comfortable rideshare experience with the nationwide launch of Women+ Connect. This highly-requested feature, available since September, allows women and nonbinary riders and drivers to connect for rides, offering an increased sense of security and control. Millions of users have already embraced the feature, showcasing its demand and potential impact.
This launch aligns perfectly with the year’s spirit, marked by countless women shattering barriers and reaching new heights. Recognizing these achievements, Lyft aims to empower these individuals further by providing a safe and reliable transportation option tailored to their needs. Whether women juggle family commitments, pursue entrepreneurial dreams, or navigate daily life, Women+ Connect ensures they can travel confidently and comfortably while offering flexible earning opportunities for drivers who identify as women or nonbinary.
This nationwide expansion paves the way for a more equitable and inclusive rideshare experience for all, beyond just the exciting Women+ Connect feature. Lyft reiterated its commitment to building a platform where everyone feels safe and comfortable, whether you’re a driver or a rider, offering emergency help with ADT, Smart Trip check-in, and specialized support. Additionally, riders can share your live location with trusted contacts so they know you’re on the way and arrive safely.
Remember, these features are available to everyone, not just users of Women+ Connect. Lyft is actively building a safer rideshare experience for all, and these tools empower you to take control of your journey. So, whether you’re a frequent Lyft user or just starting, know that your safety is the company’s priority.
