PITTSBURGH — Lyft, Giant Eagle and 412 Food Rescue are teaming up to help people who live across the City of Pittsburgh get to the grocery store without breaking the bank.

The ride-share service will now allow people from certain areas of the city to sign up for flat-rate rides to the store.
"Once they are signed up to the program, they can apply a code and they will pay $2.50 to get a flat-fare ride to Giant Eagles on the North Side, South Side, Braddock Hills and Center Avenue," Gail Felton, from Bedford Dwellings, said.
