Need a Lyft? Ridesharing company begins operations in Rio Grande Valley


The rideshare company Lyft launched in the Rio Grande Valley today, according to a company news release.

Popular in major metropolitan areas, companies such as Lyft provide shared rides on short notice using an app on your cell phone.

New passengers can use the code LYFTLOVE17 to receive $5 off their first Lyft ride. Lyft is available in McAllen, Harlingen and Edinburg. No Brownsville?


The car rides are provided by drivers who work on their own flexible schedule. To become a driver, visit the “Drive with Lyft” page.

How Lyft Works:

1. Request: Whether you’re riding solo or with friends, you’ve got options. Just tap request and a driver’s there.

2. Ride: After just a few taps in the Lyft app, a carefully-screened driver will be on their way to you — just set your pickup point.

3. Pay: When the ride ends, just pay and rate your driver through your phone.

I wonder how they're doing?   I heard Meridee on 107.9 talking about it yesterday that no one will let her use it.  It seems the machismo in her inner circle thinks its dangerous to go in a stranger's car.  she countered with the fact that each driver has a background check so it should be OK.  I hope it works out in the RGV.  I'd like to try it one day.

I follow a SPI page and some out of town lady was looking for a ride to the BRO airport and someone suggested LYFT.   She was excited to hear that there was one.

She came back and posted that although it's available, there are ZERO drivers in the area for LYFT.

Yeah, haven't heard much about it here in the McAllen area either.   Has anyone on this forum used it locally?

A friend of mine was a driver for them briefly before she moved to San Antonio but didn't get much traffic for some reason.

Saw a $20 coupon on Facebook for LYFT yesterday.

Has ANYONE used Lyft or Uber in the RGV?

I keep getting email spam asking me to be a driver for LYFT.
