Lyft is finally going international

Lyft is making a major move to go north of the border and finally expand its ride-hailing network outside the United States. 

The company announced in a blog post it has tabbed Toronto, Canada, as its first international territory. Lyft also put out an open call for drivers to make up its fleet in the city, where it will open a Driver Hub office for outreach and recruiting events. 

There isn’t an exact date for Lyft cars to be out on Toronto’s streets, but the company said operations should begin around the holiday season, and first-time users will be treated to their first trip gratis.
