Lyft
Summon a driver
Lyft is a ridesharing company and mobile app that connects passengers with drivers for hire.
Like its competitor Uber, Lyft lets users request rides through their phones: I'll just Lyft to the airport.
The company name, a stylized spelling of "lift," suggests both transportation and the casual feel of catching a ride with someone.
