    Overview of contract jobs at Lyft

    Lyft is a privately held, San Francisco–based American transportation network company. The company's mobile-phone application facilitates peer-to-peer ridesharing by enabling passengers who need a ride to request one from available "community drivers".Lyft's tagline is "your friend with a car" and the company claims that its service generally costs about 30% less than the price of a similar-length cab ride. Lyft drivers are distinguished by a pink, fuzzy mustache placed on the front of their vehicle.

     
    As of April 2014, Lyft operates in 60 US cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C., Boston, Charlotte, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, Baltimore, Phoenix, Minneapolis/St. Paul, St. Louis, Columbus, Indianapolis, Nashville, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Orlando.

     
    Lyft was launched in the summer of 2012 by Logan Green and John Zimmer as a service of Zimride, a ridesharing company the two founded in 2007. Zimride focused on ridesharing for longer trips, often between cities, and linked drivers and passengers through the Facebook Connect application. Zimride eventually became the largest rideshare program in the United States (U.S.) and some Zimride users developed lasting friendships.

     
    Similar to Zimride, Lyft requires all drivers and passengers to sign up with the service through their Facebook account or now with their phone number. Drivers and passengers rate each other on a five-star scale after each ride, and the ratings establish the reputations of both drivers and passengers within the network. Unlike traditional taxis, Lyft drivers do not charge fares and instead received "donations" from their passengers.

     
    In May 2013, Green and Zimmer officially changed the name of the company from Zimride to Lyft. In June 2013, Lyft completed a US$60 million Series C venture financing round led by Andreessen Horowitz, increasing the total amount raised to US$83 million—the other investors were Founders Fund, Mayfield Fund, K9 Ventures, and Floodgate. In July 2013, Lyft sold Zimride to Enterprise Holdings, the parent company of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, to enable the company to focus exclusively on the growth of Lyft.
     
      
    Due to regulatory barriers in New York City, the company eventually decided to significantly alter its business model to establish Lyft in the East Coast location. The relaunch of the company, which had previously attempted to operate in the state of New York, occurred on the evening of July 25, 2014 and, in accordance with the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) and the approval of the Manhattan Supreme Court, only drivers registered with the TLC were permitted to drive Lyft-branded vehicles in New York City. Lyft's signature pink mustaches remained in use for the relaunch.

    For Lyft, I say fun environment, chances to meet new people, choosing your own working hours although out of pocket gas expenses (seldom) but the job has the room to make good money.

    Lyft is actually someone who gives you an opportunity to know your city better; with them you get a chance to know new places/routes etc. Their flexible working timing is a good fit for a partimer like me. As a driver I have worked here for over a period of six months and the experience has been fairly good. Only bad part is that sometimes you may have to drive real long distances during odd hours to pick-up passenger but extra money each week compensates for that.

    Break timings make sense here, 15min break after every 2hrs. Compensation plan require some changes.
