Lyft Taps Bad Bunny for Its Expansion in Puerto Rico

— July 27, 2025 — Autos
Lyft's official launch in Puerto Rico represents a strategic expansion into a market with demonstrated demand, as evidenced by a 30% increase in app activity during the driver onboarding phase. The company has decided to celebrate its entry with culturally relevant promotions. The most notable of these is the 60% discount for up to $12 off per ride for attendees of Bad Bunny's exclusive summer residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The code to take advantage of this promotion is ACHOPR.

This initiative not only addresses practical transportation needs for concertgoers but also signals Lyft's intent to embed itself in local culture from the outset. Additionally, new users can access 50% off their first five rides for up to $10 off per ride with the code WEPA.
