Lyft’s belated Pet Mode matches drivers to those traveling with their furry friends

Lyft has launched a new "Pet Mode" feature in time for National Dog Day, allowing passengers to indicate they are traveling with pets, similar to Uber's existing option. For a surcharge of $4 plus tax that goes directly to the driver, pet owners can secure a ride with drivers willing to accommodate their furry friends. This feature may have helped avoid past incidents, like the case of Tux the Cat, who was mistakenly left with a driver, highlighting the need for better pet-friendly transport options.
