This was from a few weeks ago, was on HN already, and it has now expired. It was in response to Uber bringing their Uber Pool (ride-sharing) down to $5 "anywhere" in SF. Lyft has since ended this offer, but made any ride in the same area < $5, simply undercutting Uber Pool. "Seven days ago, we matched MUNI by lowering Lyft Line prices to $2.25 for a limited time. And your response was amazing. So, instead of letting the Drive Happy District disappear, we’re keeping low prices around longer! Starting tonight, we’re setting a $5 price cap on all Lyft Line rides in the Drive Happy District, so you never pay more than $5. No coupon necessary, so go forth and spread the news to all of your friends! Just request a ride to and from anywhere in the District, and you’re golden." http://blog.lyft.com/posts/lyftline5 http://blog.lyft.com/posts/lyftline5
