Lyft Announces Driver Bonuses and Directed Share Program Opportunity
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lyft today announced that, in connection with its milestone year, which it expects to include its initial public offering, Lyft will be paying the most dedicated drivers on its platform bonuses as recognition for their contributions to its success.
Lyft will pay a cash bonus of:
-- $1,000 to drivers in good standing who have completed at least 10,000
rides but fewer than 20,000 rides on its platform as of February 25,
2019;
-- $10,000 to drivers in good standing who have completed at least 20,000

served on, its Driver Advisory Council as of February 25, 2019.
As part of this program, drivers will receive only one bonus, which will be the largest bonus for which they are eligible. These bonuses are expected to be paid to eligible drivers on or about March 19, 2019.
