Affordable shared ride service Lyft Line is rolling into town

Lyft wants you to share your mustache ride.

Just two months after celebrating its one-year anniversary in Las Vegas, transportation company Lyft is readying to launch another feature, Lyft Line. If you’ve ever used the service in another city—or the similar Uber Pool—you already know the benefit of ride-sharing. Line allows passengers with overlapping routes to share a ride for a cheaper price, and the more similar the route, the bigger the discount.

The option to carpool with other passengers becomes available on November 10, making Las Vegas the 15th U.S. city to offer the service. Since Line launched in San Francisco two years ago, Lyft claims to have helped reduce traffic by more than 13 million cars. Encouraging riders to try out Line, Lyft is offering Vegas Line riders a discounted price during the first two weeks of the rollout. Uber Pool remains unavailable in Las Vegas.
