What helps you do that?

Lyft is a taxi aggregator, a publicly traded company based in San Francisco, California, USA. That allows users to use its website or mobile app to find drivers who have partnered with the service and are willing to give them a ride for a reasonable fee.

Lyft's slogan is "your friend with a car." Lyft claims their service allows you to travel by car at a 30% lower cost than traditional taxis. Drivers working with Lyft tag their vehicles with a furry mascot (invented by Ethan Eyler) in the form of a pink bumper mustache. As of April 2014, Lyft operates in 60 US cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Washington (DC), Boston, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, Baltimore, Phoenix (Arizona), Minneapolis, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh. The service has raised about $330 million in funding over two years.
