What is Revenue per Active Rider?

Lyft defines an active driver as any driver who travels at least once on a multi-modal platform via the Lyft app during the quarter. If a ride is requested by an organization that uses the concierge service on behalf of the rider, it will be excluded from the active rider calculation as it does not require the use of the Lyft app. For acquired companies, only riders who ride through the Lyft app during the quarter or rent a bike or scooter are counted as active riders. In addition, Active Rider’s calculations are not based on standardized industry methodologies and are not necessarily calculated in the same or equivalent manner as indicators of similar titles from other companies. Lyft generally defines revenue per active driver as quarterly revenue divided by the number of active drivers in the same quarter.
