Even before Covid-19, many Uber and Lyft users avoided pooled trips. Asking people to share rides with strangers in autonomous vehicles may face the same resistance.

With Cruise for Lyft, you can now get a ride from your Mac without needing your phone at all! Cruise stays in your menu bar, and can quickly be brought up with a keyboard shortcut, keeping ride estimates just a tap away. Cruise supports the full Lyft experience, and is powered by the official Lyft API, but is not endorsed, certified, or otherwise approved by Lyft.

General Motors Co's self-driving car unit, Cruise, on Tuesday unveiled a prototype electric vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals for use in its planned autonomous ride-sharing service. See nearby ferry, bus, and train schedules right in the Lyft app, plus directions on how to get.

  • See all the available ride types in your area, and how far away they are. We'll even keep the nearest ETA in your menu bar so you know when it's a good time to request a ride.
  • Enter a destination, or use recent destinations, to get cost estimates.
  • Get a pricing estimate and request a ride.
  • Get an ETA on your pickup time right in your menu bar, as well as notifications in your Notification Center so you know when to leave.

Cruise works in tandem with the Lyft app on your phone, and seamlessly transitions between them. It also supports Touch Bar to make it even simpler to request a ride, without even needing to touch a mouse or trackpad! To check if Lyft is available in your area, go to https://www.lyft.com/cities.

If you’re not up on the latest technology, you still have likely heard of ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft. What you may not know if how exactly they work and that they can make it extremely easy to get to the Seattle cruise port.

Uber and Lyft (along with other ride-sharing services) allow anyone to turn their own personal vehicle into a taxicab. Through an app that you download on your smartphone, riders can request a ride. The app then matches passengers with drivers, and provides details such as how long until the driver arrives, the driver’s name and details and their phone number. All payments are taken care of through your credit card linked to the app. No cash is involved.

Note: If you are a first-time Lyft user, we’ve arranged for $50 in ride credit (making Lyft usually the cheapest way to get around). Sign up here to claim your credit now.

These ride-sharing services have soared in popularity because they make catching a ride quick and easy. You no longer have to call a cab company and wait for a ride. Instead, since there are so many Uber/Lyft drivers, someone is usually always within a few minutes of you.

In addition, drivers are rated and reviewed by riders. If a driver fails to get a good score, then they can no longer be eligible to drive for the company.

But the most enticing part is that your ride can be considerably less than a typical cab (at times up to 20% less!).

While Uber and Lyft aren’t legal in some cities due to rules and regulations around licensing, Seattle allows them to operate freely, except for at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Right now they aren’t technically allowed to pick up there, but many still do. Lyft drivers seem to have the ability to pick up from the airport. Uber drivers aren’t allowed to, but the company has a workaround until the rules on its drivers change:

Previously, it was impossible to hail an uberX ride from Sea-Tac with the geo-fence. Now, though, when you drop a pin at the airport, a notification pops up that reads, “Welcome to Sea-Tac, request when you are ready, and your driver will meet you at the Arrivals level.”

From there, you can designate which door you are at and your “uberX” driver — in this case, someone working for a for-hire company — will show up.

Uber first partnered with Seattle for-hire companies this past October, allowing customers to request a for-hire driver from the Uber app. For-hire vehicles in Seattle differ from taxicabs because they charge a flat fee per trip versus a metered fare.

Cost of Uber/Lyft to the Port of Seattle

Cruise For Life

So how much does it cost? We’ve put together some estimates for popular places to the cruise ports. Keep in mind these are just estimates. As well, these rates are not per person as the company’s most popular services offer rides for up to four people for the same rate. (There are some services if you have more riders, or you can request two drivers.)

The prices shown below are for the most basic offerings and are estimates. (Note: Both Uber and Lyft show service areas that exclude Tacoma, but Uber provides and estimated fare from the city.)
