Lyft today announced that it will soon allow users to add an extra stop to Lyft rides. This will help users who want to get something done while they’re on their way to their destination. It could be anything from picking up a friend to picking up a gift, they will be able to add the stop into the app and the route will instantly update, thus providing a seamless experience to both the driver and the user.
Users will be able to remove extra stops from their rides just as easily as they can add them. If for any reason they don’t need to make the stop that they have previously added to the route, they can simply tap on it and select “Remove stop.”
This feature is going to take care of a pain point for users and drivers. Previously, either the user had to enter the second destination in the app or the driver had to do it manually once they got to the first destination. It was cumbersome and time-consuming.
The ability to add an extra stop right off the bat is going to make things simpler and easier for both parties involved. Lyft says that this feature is going to go live in the near future.
