Ever party just a little too hard and don't feel like you should get behind the wheel? Lyft is a peer-to-peer ride service that is controlled through an app on your smartphone.
Based out of San Francisco, Lyft launched in DFW in September and is donation based. Drivers can apply and are put through a stringent process that includes a background check, car inspection and interview process. They then use their own cars to provide rides. General cost is less than a cab, and drivers earn around $30 an hour.
Lyft drivers can be identified by the big fluffy pink mustaches affixed to the grille of their cars. While there haven't been any spotted in Fort Worth just yet, we've heard they hope to expand to this side of the Metroplex as well.
Local taxi cab companies say that these services are illegal cabs with no permits and that they aren't having to pay city fees or follow regulations. They want the city to put the brakes on the service.
