Is Lyft down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Lyft right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Lyft continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are can't connect, website / app down, can't log in, no response / timing out, no notifications and slow or laggy. Those are the options the report button offers for Lyft, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Lyft specifically, the matching engine, payment processing, GPS tracking, and driver availability systems can fail independently, so you may be unable to request while drivers can still see the app, or vice versa. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Lyft, try requesting a ride from a different device on the same account, and ask a friend with Lyft to check if they can see available drivers in your area. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Lyft's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly request rides, as each attempt queues and may charge you multiple times when service restores, or match you with multiple drivers simultaneously. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Lyft publishes a machine-readable status feed, so our first check reads it directly and reports what Lyft itself says. If that feed is unreachable we fall back to a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP ping, then reports from visitors. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at lyft.statuspage.io, and it is linked further up this page. That is Lyft's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Lyft or lyft.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Lyft's own support, not us.
