Lyft CEO David Risher highlighted the company's role beyond ride-hailing, emphasizing its operation of bike-sharing systems like Citi Bike in major cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. He stressed the importance of multimodal transportation for urban environments and suggested that Lyft's future could extend to other forms of transport, aligning with its core purpose of 'serving and connecting people.'
“What you may not know is Lyft also runs the bike shore system. Here in New York City where we're.”
“That's exactly right. So we run city Bike, We run the program in San Francisco, we run the program in Chicago, we run the program in Boston, in Portland, Oregon. And then we also supply the technology and the bikes in London, in Barcelona, in Madrid, you know, many many countries around the world.”
“So that's going to be, you know, a big part of our future as well. And then look, you know, someday, who knows, maybe boats, maybe vertical takeoff, airlines, you know, who knows.”
