Ride-hailing company Lyft announced today (Monday) that it’s starting up operations in New Westminster.
“Lyft is expanding its operating region and will now be serving all of the City of Vancouver, Richmond, New Westminster and North Surrey,” said a news release.
“We’ve seen a significant increase in the number of drivers interested in participating in this flexible earning opportunity,” said Peter Lukomskyj, general manager for Lyft in B.C. “Drivers have told us they love driving with Lyft and would like to start driving closer to where they live.”
The Vancouver rider site features Lyft’s most up-to-date coverage area, which will adjust in real-time as the operating area evolves.
To support drivers, Lyft has opened three driver hub locations: Surrey, Richmond and the City of Vancouver.
Lyft has also partnered with Valley Driving School to help prospective drivers obtain their Class 4 commercial licence, and is offering incentives to new drivers.
