Columbus Underground reported in February that ride-share service Lyft may be planning a return to the Columbus market, and today the company has made the news official. The company began signing up new drivers several months ago, and the service is scheduled to go live today at noon.
“We’re thrilled to be back in Columbus, and we look forward to having a transformative impact on the community,” stated Jaime Raczka, Lyft’s General Manager in Columbus. “Whether they’re going for a day on the town with friends or heading home after a night out, we’re excited that Columbus locals will now be able to rely on Lyft for a safe, affordable ride around town.”
Lyft is also announcing today that their services are officially partnered with both Port Columbus and Rickenbacker, so riders can commute to and from both airports with ease.
To celebrate their return, Lyft is offering new passengers a special promo ride code of “OHIO” for one free ride up to $20, and a promo code of “BUCKS” for existing passengers to get a $5 credit.
