To provide Chicagoans with a more affordable ride option during COVID-19, Lyft launched a new product feature called "Wait & Save" on Tuesday, May 5.
In Chicago, nearly 30% of Lyft rides start or end in a low-income area and rides to essential locations (defined as supermarkets, convenience stores, police stations, drugstores, pharmacies, laundromats and banks) have increased 110% since the start of the pandemic, Lyft officials said.
"Wait & Save" rides will cost less than a standard Lyft ride, and in exchange, riders will wait between 5 and 40 minutes to be picked up.
