During the novel coronavirus pandemic, Lyft has expanded its services beyond just ride hailing. For example, last week in the San Francisco Bay Area, it initiated a pilot that lets drivers deliver medical supplies and meals. The company confirmed on Friday that it's now collaborating with Amazon to supply the e-commerce giant with drivers to do package and grocery deliveries.
Lyft made the announcement in an email to drivers on Thursday, adding that it'll be sending out weekly notifications with "new information about driving, earning opportunities, and supporting your community." This news was first reported by Bloomberg.
