About
Lyft is the second-largest rideshare platform in the United States, connecting riders with drivers through a mobile app for on-demand personal transportation across approximately 350 cities in the US and select Canadian markets. Founded in 2012 in San Francisco by Logan Green and John Zimmer, Lyft went public on NASDAQ in March 2019 and generates approximately $5.8 billion in annual revenue (2024). The company has maintained a narrower geographic focus than Uber — US and Canada only — while Uber operates globally across rides, food delivery, and freight.
