Lyft has officially launched in the capital.
The ride-ordering company has been granted a private transportation license from the City and the app officially went live at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon.
The service, which is now the main competition for Uber, is trying to lure in customers with a $5 discount on their inaugural ride.
In celebration of the launch, Lyfit is also giving passengers the option of supporting a local charity.
Passengers can choose to round their fare to the nearest dollar, with the difference going to CHEO.
