SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lyft, the fastest-growing ridesharing company in the U.S., has announced The Lyftie Awards, the first annual awards program that celebrates businesses and points of interest with the most Lyft passenger drop-offs throughout the year.
Based on destination data from 2015, more than 60 restaurants, bars, event venues, transit stops, and local attractions will receive Lyftie Awards in Lyft's top markets across the U.S., including San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, D.C., Boston, Seattle, Austin, Nashville, and Miami. Divided into six categories, The Lyfties truly represent the best of 2015 and the hottest destinations for both visitors and locals in our nation's most iconic cities.

Every city is different, and the Lyfties celebrate the personality and character of each local community. Whether going out to eat, visiting a local attraction, or using Lyft to connect to the nearest transit stop, millions of people are foregoing traditional options and using Lyft to rediscover their city.
"Congratulations to all Lyftie award winners! 2015 was a year of unparalleled growth and momentum for Lyft, and the Lyftie Awards are our way of showing our appreciation of the local businesses that helped our growth," said Cherie Yu, Director of Local Marketing for Lyft. "As we head into 2016, we look forward to deepening our roots in each of these cities and continuing to offer the Lyft community the safest and most affordable way to get their most beloved restaurants, bars, and attractions."
To celebrate this year's winners, Lyft and The Abbey will co-host the first Lyftie Awards party at The Abbey in Los Angeles on January 28, 2016. More information will become available soon.
To help passengers further the celebration of The Lyftie Awards, Lyft is keeping its standard 200% Prime Time cap over New Year's Eve. Lyft passengers across the nation can spend more time enjoying friends and family at their own favorite local spots and less time worrying about unexpected, sky-high price hikes. Lyft is committed to keeping safe rides affordable for passengers, no matter the occasion.
