More Details
The app is available in Los Angeles and San Francisco at this time but is working to expand to more cities.
In order to use the app you'll need to log in with Facebook. Next enter in your pickup location and then simply request a Lyft. Once you reach your destination you are asked to rate your driver and make a donation. Once you request the lift you'll be given information such as the name of the driver, the car he or she will arrive in, and how many minutes it will be until your ride arrives.
The reason Lyft uses your Facebook login is for security purposes to maintain a trusted "peer-to-peer community" that also maintains your privacy.
This makes finding a ride very easy and quick. I liked that you could then rate your driver when you finished so you could award them for such great service.
For: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
