Winnipeg, your ride awaits: Lyft is now available

Nov 12, 2024

Starting today, Winnipeggers can request rides in the Lyft app

A new rideshare option is available in Winnipeg for both riders and drivers. Whether you’re catching a flight, commuting to work, or meeting up with friends, Lyft can now help you get to where you need to go.

We are proud to be growing our community and connecting more riders and drivers in Manitoba. In addition to Winnipeg, Lyft serves drivers and riders in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and a number of cities in Southwest Ontario. Today, nearly 10 percent of all Canadians have taken a ride with Lyft since we launched in the country, and our rides in Canada have doubled since last year.

“Riders in Winnipeg can now choose Lyft for a ride to run errands, visit with family, or explore the city,” said Audrey Liu, EVP of Rider Experience and Community Safety at Lyft. “We’ve provided almost 106 million rides to over 4.3 million Canadians so far, and we’re looking forward to serving even more Canadians by connecting the Winnipeg community to the places, people, and experiences they love.”

To celebrate, we’re offering riders in Winnipeg a special launch offer: new riders get 50% off their first 5 rides in their first 14 days with code LYFTCA.* Max savings of CA$10 per ride.
