Lyft helped out after the hurricanes in Florida and Texas last year by taking people to shelters free of charge. Now they've partnered with the American Cancer Society for a program called "Road to Recovery," where they offer cancer patients free rides to-and-from their cancer treatments. It started last fall right here in Las Vegas, and Miami. Now they're expanding to MORE cities, including L.A., Philadelphia, Houston, Cincinnati, Denver, St. Louis, Atlanta, and parts of New Jersey.
Instead of using the Lyft app, patients can call the American Cancer Society helpline to set it up. Then Lyft covers the cost. Just make sure to call a few days before appointment to schedule a ride. (The number is 1-800-227-2345.)
