Lyft Line came out of the vision that we've had from the beginning, which is how do we get the most affordable ride to everyone? Eighty percent of seats at all times on the road are empty. In Los Angeles, average car occupancy is 1.1, and if it were 1.3, there would be no traffic. John Zimmer affordableangelesaverage share on social
The main difference to me with Lyft is the sense of community and social experience. The pink mustache, fist bump and strict screening have fostered a strong sense of community with many stories of new friends, discovered jobs, and even some Lyft hugs after a tough break up.

Autonomous vehicles, because they'll be able to operate at a lower cost, will be able to pull more consumers into the Lyft network. And as you have more people switching from using their own car, they'll be taking more rides that still require a person behind the wheel. John Zimmer autonomouscarconsumer share on social
When you request a Lyft, 90% of the time, there is someone else going within a half mile of your destination. We've seen this on our platform, so now we're matching up these rides for a discount. John Zimmer destinationdiscounthalf Change image and share on social
The times in my life I've felt the most alive is when I'm having a connection with people. We need to hack cities in a way to bring back that community culture. John Zimmer alivebackbring Change image and share on social
We see Lyft as not just an app, but a movement of people coming together in cities and having conversations about things that matter. You're around some of the most interesting people in the world, and you don't talk to them. More and more people are craving in-person interactions. John Zimmer appcitycome share on social
My vision for the future of social transportation is one that places more value on information and community over a physical product. Move over, multi-billion-dollar high-speed rail infrastructure and welcome, social information-based solutions. John Zimmer basebillioncommunity share on social
The next wave of the social graph is empowering services like Airbnb and Lyft that give people the chance to have that physical interaction. People are more open to that because of Airbnb. Airbnb took couch surfing and took an additional step. John Zimmer additionalairbnbchance share on social
Lyft is the fastest-growing on-demand transportation service in the United States. It's as easy as opening the Lyft app, clicking a button, and a driver arrives within minutes. John Zimmer apparrivebutton Change image and share on social
