At Lyft, our mission is to improve people’s lives with the world’s best transportation. Imagine cities where streets are safe, communities thrive, and personal cars are a thing of the past. We envision a future where shared and active transportation modes are the norm, fostering vibrant, connected neighborhoods.

As a leader in micromobility, Lyft powers millions of rides daily across over 200 cities with our cutting-edge ride-sharing, bike-sharing, and scooter-sharing technologies. Our Montreal office is the birthplace of North America's first automated bike-share system, Bixi, which has since revolutionized urban mobility. Today, our pioneering system is operational in more than 50 cities worldwide, including Barcelona, Bogota, Boston, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Dubai, London, Madrid, Mexico City, Montreal, New York, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, and Washington DC, to name just a few. Join us and be part of the team behind some of the world's largest and most successful bike-share systems!
