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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concurrent-rides), which is currently the [largest rideshare platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-6). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Market](https://www.trendhunter.com/market) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-stop Rideshares:** The rise of multi-stop rideshares is disrupting traditional ride hailing models. - **City-dweller Ride Sharing:** City dwellers are increasingly using shared transportation services, creating opportunities for localized ride-sharing platforms. - **Flexible Ride Sharing:** The demand for flexibility in ride sharing services is driving innovation toward customizable ride sharing models. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Ride Sharing:** Ride-sharing companies can leverage multi-stop features to differentiate from competitors and attract new users. - **Transportation:** Multi-stop ride-hailing services are disrupting traditional transportation sector models and driving innovation in the industry. - **Tech:** Technology companies are innovating by creating multi-stop ride-sharing services which provide added convenience and flexibility to riders and create new opportunities for growth. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simultaneous Ride-Hailing Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concurrent-rides.md) - [Taxi Round-Trip Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intercity-rides.md) - [Gender-Based Rideshare Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyft-4.md) - [Tow-Truck App Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyft-2.md) - [Discounted Rideshare Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discounted-rideshare.md) - [Protected Driver Selection Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyft-3.md) - [Airport Commuting Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyft-and-united.md) - [Scooter Rideshare Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spin-electric-scooters.md) - [Senior-Friendly Rideshare Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyft-silver.md)
