removed Split Pay, the feature that lets users split ride fares

split your fare” are coming next year. -
Uber, Lyft’s direct competitor, still offers fare
splitting.
Trying to get your friend to cover their half of the Lyft ride
might have gotten a little more difficult.
Lyft confirmed that it removed Split Pay, the feature that lets
users split ride fares with other passengers. A spokesperson for
the ride-hailing company didn’t offer a reason for removing the
feature, but said “easier and smoother ways to split your fare”
are coming next year.
The Split Pay feature, which was added in 2014, offered users an
in-app method of splitting a fare with up to five people from the
phone’s contact list. Uber, Lyft’s direct competitor, still
offers an in-app fare-splitting feature.
So for now, you’ll need to resort to Venmo or other payment apps
to make sure everyone pays their part when catching a ride with
Lyft.
