Vermont Business Magazine Lyft, the fastest growing ridesharing service in the U.S., today announced that as of this Sunday, July 1st, it will be operating statewide in Vermont. Lyft has been available in Burlington and other areas since May of 2017, and is now expanding to the Rutland and Barre areas. To celebrate Lyft’s arrival, new passengers can use the code LYFTLOVE18 to receive $5 off their first ride. Users can enter the code in the “promos” section of the app or visit https://www.lyft.com/invite/lyftlove18.
“We are thrilled to now offer Lyft throughout the state so that all Vermonters have access to an affordable ride option, and drivers across the state can more easily find additional earning opportunities with Lyft,” said Jake Darby, Lyft General Manager.
Full coverage in Vermont has clear benefits for both passengers and drivers. With a set of unified statewide rules, drivers are no longer restricted by a patchwork of local regulations making it easier to earn across the State, and passengers benefit from having access to reliable transportation from anywhere in Vermont.
Lyft is currently available to 95 percent of the US population and in Ontario, Canada. A full list of cities where Lyft operates, along with coverage map of Vermont, can be found here.
