I recently wrote about Lyft giving away 50 Free Rides to celebrate their launch in NYC.  BUT what good are 50 free rides that expire in 2 weeks when there are no cars available?  So far this week when I checked various pickup locations around Manhattan, on average I found 0-1 cars available.  I have been able to use ZERO free rides.

The 50 Free Ride offer was for new and existing users.  For existing Lyft users, all you need to go is run the app when you were in NYC and the 50 free rides should show up on your ‘Payment' screen.

 

LYFT DESPERATE FOR DRIVERS  – OFFERS  $500 BONUS  AND EXTENSION OF FREE RIDES

Lyft knows their launch didnt go so well and sent the email pictured below.  If you can't use your free rides before they expire (August 9th, 2014), they will be reissued “in the coming weeks”.  Know any TLC NYC drivers who might like to drive for Lyft?  If so, Lyft will pay you both!  You can refer them and you both get a bonus!
