Lyft plans to add a temporary fuel surcharge to fares amid rising fuel prices around the country, the company confirmed to The Verge<\/em> on Monday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been closely monitoring rising gas prices and their impact on our driver community,\u201d Lyft spokesperson CJ Macklin said in a statement. \u201cDriver earnings overall remain elevated compared to last year, but given the rapid rise in gas prices we\u2019ll be asking riders to pay a temporary fuel surcharge, all of which will go to drivers. We\u2019ll share more details shortly.\u201d <\/p>\n

Lyft follows Uber<\/a> in announcing a temporary fuel surcharge as gas prices have spiked in part due to Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. Uber\u2019s surcharge for rides adds \u201ceither $0.45 or $0.55 on each Uber trip,\u201d depending on a rider\u2019s location, according to Uber\u2019s blog about the change<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like Uber, Lyft says the entirety of the surcharge will go to drivers. Uber\u2019s surcharge will apply even if a ride is done in an electric vehicle, but it\u2019s unclear if that will apply to Lyft\u2019s surcharge as well.<\/p>\n
