Tablets. Lyft has tablets in 6,000 cars in 12 markets, reaching over 1 mllion riders per month. Riders are using them as an alternative to the phone app when they are in the car. Additionally, riders can use the tablet to improve their experience by controlling the music in the car, tracking their progress on a map and tipping their driver.

Students are encouraged to utilize capacity limitations for Standard Lyft rides (up to 3 riders) and Lyft XL rides (up to 5 riders) to travel in groups. This improves rider safety and helps maximize the number of times students can take advantage of this program.
With so many competitors vying for market share, Lyft knew providing safety and trust at all touchpoints, for both passengers and riders, would be paramount in helping the company achieve success. Establishing and growing that trust, even as the organization went through massive growth, meant a hyperfocus on one major area: communications.

In 2022, building on its success, the program received an innovation grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services to help expand on-demand service to riders who use mobility devices. The grant provides financial incentives to attract drivers with wheelchair-accessible vehicles to the Lyft platform and, once on the platform, to keep them driving, said county transportation coordinator and TCAP mobility manager Robyn Bernardy.
Currently, Lyft subcontracts with Mobility for All for wheelchair-accessible services, which requires riders to call for rides rather than use the Lyft app. Lyft is working on adding the option for wheelchair-accessible vehicles to its platform.
