Lyft rider app¶
What it is¶
Lyft's rider-facing mobile app (iOS + Android). The consumer-side entry point for the Lyft platform — ride request, pickup-spot selection, driver matching, chat, trip tracking, payment.
On the sysdesign-wiki the rider app is a cross-cutting container discussed across multiple Lyft sources. This page is a stub for future expansion.
