Business
Item 1. Business. Overview Lyft, Inc. (the "Company" or "Lyft") started a movement to revolutionize transportation. In 2012, we launched our peer-to-peer marketplace for on-demand ridesharing and have continued to pioneer innovations. Today, Lyft is one of the largest multimodal transportation networks in the United States and Canada. We have an important purpose, which is to get riders out into the world so they can live their lives together, and to provide drivers a way to work that gives them control over their time and money. Our ridesharing marketplace connects drivers with riders via the Lyft mobile application (the "Lyft App") in cities across the United States and in select cities in Canada. We have established a scaled network of users brought together by our robust technology platform (the "Lyft Platform") that powers rides and connections every day. We leverage our technology platform, the scale and density of our user network and insights from a significant number of rides to improve our ridesharing marketplace efficiency and develop new offerings. We've also taken steps to ensure our network is well positioned to benefit from technological innovation in mobility. Our offerings on the Lyft App include an expanded set of transportation modes in select cities, such as access to a network of shared bikes and scooters ("Light Vehicles") for shorter rides and first-mile and last-mile legs of multimodal trips. Substantially all of our revenue is generated from our ridesharing marketplace that connects drivers and riders. We collect service fees and commissions from drivers for their use of our ridesharing marketplace. As drivers accept more rider leads, Gross Bookings 1 and Rides 1 increase, driving more revenue. We also generate revenue from riders renting Light Vehicles, drivers renting vehicles through Express Drive and by making our ridesharing marketplace available to organizations through our Lyft Business offerings, such as our Concierge and Lyft
