Lyft multi-stop is the latest feature to the ride share app that will let users request multiple stops during a trip.
The Lyft multi-stop feature is targeted especially at city-dwellers, who are most likely to utilize ride share apps. The multi-stop provides more flexibility if a group is riding together. The feature eliminates the problem of trying to re-request the same ride after the trip ends at the first stop.
The Lyft multi-stop feature currently only lets users input two locations, but lets users remove one of the destinations if they change their mind after already being picked up. With the multi-stop feature, Lyft is looking to gain a competitive edge on Uber, which is currently the largest rideshare platform.
