Got a Parking Ticket? #ShouldveTakenALyft

Learning how to pandemic has made us forget how to "human." One thing we were pleased to forget? Parking tickets. And as we venture out to enjoy the fresh air of summer, the memories of parking tickets are becoming all too real again. Cities across the country are reporting spikes in the number of parking tickets issued this summer as more people get back on the road.

When people see parking tickets, we want them to think #ShouldveTakenALyft. That's why, starting today, we're launching a contest to help ease the pain of parking tickets. A few lucky winners will get a free Lyft Pink membership, with exclusive perks and preferred pricing. Others will get ride credits to cover future Lyft rides. (And avoid future tickets.)

How to participate: Post a photo or video of your parking ticket on Instagram, Twitter or TikTok tagging @lyft with the hashtag #ShouldveTakenALyft. The best 150 posts will win one of the following:

  • Lyft Pink annual membership (valued at $199)

  • $100 in Lyft ride credits

  • One Lyft Pink monthly membership (valued at $19.99)

Participants must live in the United States, be age 18+, and have a valid Lyft account in good standing. All Official Rules located here.

The contest will be open for submissions from Thursday, 8/12/21 through Thursday, 9/2/21. All personal info must be blurred out or not visible (to protect participants), and the social media account from which they are posting must be public for us to view the entry. No purchase necessary. A purchase will not increase chances of winning. We believe good energy moves the world—and parking tickets are not good energy.

We’re turning every parking ticket into a reminder that there’s a better, less stressful way to get around. Bikes, scooters, and rideshare are easy to use and love—and never end with parking tickets.
