    Hello SD Traveler,

    I am not familiar with Lyft but Uber I have used here and in the UK, using the same app, so I am sure you should have no problem with either when in Switzerland.

    Best wishes,

    Yolanda

    There is very little need to use car services in Switzerland since the public transport system is so efficient and serves or gets close to almost every last road in Switzerland.
