You can pay for your Lyft ride with cash now

Ridesharing isn't typically viable in the US if you want to pay with cash, but that won't be a problem now that Lyft has introduced an option to pay for rides using cash. Visit 35,000-plus stores like Walmart, ACE Cash Express and Kroger and you can present a barcode or ID number to turn physical money into a balance accessible through the Lyft app or website. You'll have to scan approved identification after requesting your first ride.
