Lyft forecast current-quarter core earnings above analysts' estimates and reported better-than-expected third-quarter revenue on Wednesday, helped by workers returning to office and a higher number of airport rides.

Brewer added that an improved mix of airport rides, scheduled rides and priority pickups also helped margin expansion. Lower prices helped Lyft serve 22.4 million active riders, which jumped 10 per cent compared with a year earlier. "We price in line with the market, that's the strategy, pure and simple and we don't see any gigantic price pressure one way or the other over the coming quarter," CEO David Risher told Reuters.
