The Guru Take
You would need multiple cars. 4 to 6 is the maximum occupancy in each vehicle.
The maximum occupancy for a Lyft ride is 4 to 6, depending on whether you order a regular Lyft or Lyft XL. (This is not counting the driver.) There are no larger cars currently available, hence you would need to request multiple cars to accommodate 30 people.
Another catch: From one user's account, you can only request one car at a time. So if you request a trip on your Lyft app, you will not be able to request another until that ride is complete. Therefore, in order to accommodate 30 people, you would need at least 5 individuals to request Lyft XLs to the same location.
Perhaps a better option would be to order a bus or a large van through a car service, i.e. limo service. They can provide much larger cars and would probably be more economical.

...or you can order from multiple rideshare apps. You can order Uber, Lyft, Juno, etc., at the same time. LOL.
Oooh, there's a catch to this one too. Most drivers use multiple apps, so you may exhaust the local drivers pretty quickly.
This is hilarious. Where are you going with 30 people?!
