Lyft Silver

Designed to help older adults feel more comfortable, confident, and successful with using ride-hailing services, Lyft offers an option through its app called Lyft Silver. This option offers enlarged text, simplified menus with less visual clutter on the screen, prioritizes vehicles that are easier to get in and out of, and provides access to live support for assistance. Schedule rides through the app or speak with an agent who can answer questions and offer support. Once Lyft Silver is turned on, tap the “Get help” button within the app, enter your phone number, and tap “Call Me” to have an agent call you back to provide assistance during standard hours of operation.
