According to an announcement on Monday, Lyft plans to add a multiple stops feature to their popular ride sharing app. The new feature will allow riders to add a destination to their ride at no extra cost other than the added time and mileage of the extra stop. And whether it’s for running errands, carpooling, or taking a trip around the city, this addition to Lyft will go a long way in making transportation easier than ever. While Uber might seem impossible to tackle, the move should put Lyft in a good spot to compete more regularly. In addition to lacking a multiple stops feature of their own, Uber has come under fire for everything from legal disputes with cab companies to regulatory fights with city governments to customer services battles with riders and drivers. Could the multiple stop feature by the straw that breaks the billion dollar camels back? In all likelihood, no. Despite its many woes, Uber is still sitting pretty as one of the most lucrative former startups in the world. While legal battles and customer service issues can be damning, this ride-sharing company can endure a lot more than a few feature updated. Particularly when Uber will probably just end up adapting the technology in a couple of months. But pink mustache users are more than willing to hope that this move will be the big move that shoots them to the top of the ride-sharing world. Photo: Flickr / SPUR
