New users of the Lyft App can get $10 credit toward their first ride

Since driving at rush hour and parking downtown may be challenging, if you have never taken a Lyft ride, you can use my referral link below for a $10 credit toward your first ride using the Lyft app (free ride if ride would have been less than $10 anyway): https://www.lyft.com/invited/ROB...­

As an added bonus, using the Lyft app may give you new ideas for your own apps :-)


Some background from Lyft themselves:

What is Lyft?

Lyft is like having a friend with a car whenever you need one. Use the link below

https://www.lyft.com/invited/ROBERT8702?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=66775836

to download the app, and you'll be on your way in minutes with a friendly, background-checked community driver. It's more fun and costs less than a cab.     

• Friendly
• You ask for a ride, it rolls up, you get into the front seat and your driver welcomes you with a fist bump.

• Affordable

  You’ll never have to worry about having enough cash because all payments are made with a credit card in the app, and best of all: Lyft is more affordable than a cab!
