Lyft, Inc. is a multimodal transportation network operator that connects riders with drivers through its mobile-based platform in the United States and internationally. The companys core business revolves around a ridesharing marketplace, supplemented by ancillary offerings including the Express Drive car rental program for drivers, shared bikes and scooters for short trips, licensing and data access agreements, bike station hardware and software sales, and advertising services. Originally founded as Zimride in 2007 and rebranded as Lyft in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and has been publicly traded on NASDAQ since its March 2019 IPO.
As a peer-to-peer platform business, Lyft operates a two-sided marketplace model where revenue is generated primarily through commissions on rides, rather than owning the vehicles or employing drivers directly. The company sits within the Passenger Ground Transportation sub-industry, competing in a market dominated globally by Uber, with both firms functioning as technology intermediaries that aggregate independent driver supply to meet consumer mobility demand.
