Sharing is caring, the motto we all grew up with, the motto we all know and love. According to Lyft, 40% of the nationwide rides are shared and in Seattle alone, shared rides have grown over 75% in the last year. Lyft's Shared ride opportunities grant us discounted prices as well as helps out *mother nature* by saving unnecessary trips to the same part of town.
