In a recent interview with Re/Code, the Chief Technology Officer of Lyft reportedly said that the company is not looking to break into the local delivery market, unlike Uber. With this move, Lyft is crafting a strategy that diverges from its larger rival, Uber, which is striking deals with small and large retailers to offer delivery services to expand beyond shuttling passengers. According to three anonymous sources quoted by Re/Code, "at least a few" companies were interested in striking a deal with Lyft to get their products delivered door-to-door, but were denied by Lyft, as it is reportedly looking to consolidate its position in the transportation services industry before it looks to expand further. The move would be an interesting one for both Uber and Lyft.
