Lyft rides Uber's coattails with fare-splitting feature<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Lyft riders, a new fare-splitting feature will help you avoid that awkward moment at the end of a group trip.</p><p>The feature is nearly identical to the one
introduced by rival Uber last year. Once the ride commences, the person who ordered the Lyft can choose up to five contacts from the app's ride options menu to divvy up the fare. All the contacts have to do is open the app and confirm the split.</p><p>Just like Uber's version, splitting the fare incurs a $0.25 surcharge per participant. The only difference is that Uber limits fare splitting to four riders in smaller cars, but allows six riders to share a fare in larger vehicles.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2862759/lyft-rides-ubers-coattails-with-fare-splitting-feature.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
