Look at this city page for Boston, it has Lyft Line as Lyft Shared. Did they change the name? I don't see any article describing the name change.
Is Lyft Line now Lyft Shared?

Lyft Line was re-named Lyft Shared approx 2 weeks ago, (Seattle) but I'm not sure if the change was implemented in all markets. Same bad product, just a new name. The tiers are now called:
Lyft Shared
Lyft
Lyft XL
Lux
LuxBlack
Lux Black XL
After all these years, I always thought Lyft "Line" was stupid. No one knew what it was.
Shouldn't have to explain these days, plus "Line" has a negative connotation as it usually means you are "waiting in line."
It's about time.
UberPool. I guess it makes sense a bit, but couldn't we also think they are a service that takes you to a pool? or brings you a pool?
Thanks!
I hadn't heard of this but it does look like it from that page.
Now I have "I get around, from town to town" dadadada stuck in my head...
They still use "line" in a lot of verbiage on their website. I am guessing it is just a change to test out if using the word "shared" helps them get more rides or something.
