“Lyft is democratizing ridesharing services. With the new paying method, Lyft will allow riders to pay their rides in cash. Lyft has introduced a new paying option, which now allows riders to pay using cash. This move, according to Lyft, is their way of improving transportation access for more people. By visiting more than 35,000 retail locations nationwide including Walmart, ACE Cash Express, Kroger Family of Stores and more, riders can now conveniently add cash to their Lyft Cash balance. To turn physical cash into Lyft Cash, riders just have to present a barcode or unique ID number from their Lyft app and then, add cash. Riders can then book rides without added fees or charges using their Lyft Cash. Riders who want to contribute to their balance will have to add at least $30 every time. The rider’s transportation options will also be limited if you go cash-only. If a ride wants to hire a bike or scooter, he will be opted to attach a credit card or another payment option.”
