MT Newswires Live

Feb 09

Lyft (LYFT) said Monday it is launching a ride-hailing service tailored for teenagers aged 13 to 17 years old in the US, allowing them to request rides while parents monitor using the app.

Drivers in the program are subject to annual background checks, and scrutiny of their driver safety records, passenger feedback, and experience, the company said.

Other features include PIN verification, alerts for unusual route changes, audio recording, and live ride tracking, the company said.

The service launches immediately in more than 200 US markets including New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington DC, and Miami, with more markets to be added in 2026, the company said.
