Rideshare app Lyft is working on a new feature that could help eliminate the pain of surge pricing. With Price Lock, the company says you’ll be able to pay a monthly fee in order to cap the price on a specific route at a specific time of day. The company is testing the feature across the US and won’t roll out final pricing until next month, but the price should be less than $5 per month.
