# Lyft will establish a technology center in Toronto to deepen its business expansion outside the U.S. market

Ride-hailing company Lyft announced on Thursday that it plans to establish a new technology center in downtown Toronto in the second half of next year. This move will make Toronto the company's second-largest technology center after San Francisco.

The new office will be located in Toronto's financial district and will accommodate hundreds of employees across various positions, including engineering, product, operations, and marketing—this is an important step for Lyft to expand its business presence in Canada.

This business expansion highlights Lyft's efforts to strengthen its international business footprint, which is part of a broader strategy to diversify growth and break through the limitations of its core market in the United States.

Lyft stated that its order volume in Canada is expected to grow by over 20% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, confirming the increasing importance of the Canadian market in its overall business. Since launching ride-hailing services in Toronto in 2017, the city has become one of Lyft's key international markets.

Currently, Lyft also operates bike-sharing projects in Ontario and Quebec, including the "Bikeshare Toronto" project, and has teams in Longueuil and Montreal.

The establishment of the technology center in Toronto is a further expansion based on Lyft's existing Canadian operations, aimed at attracting local talent from the vast pool of tech talent in the Greater Toronto Area.

Earlier this year, Lyft acquired the European mobility platform FreeNow from BMW and Mercedes-Benz for approximately $200 million, which laid an important foundation for Lyft in the European market.

Earlier this summer, FreeNow opened a new global technology center in Barcelona. The center has currently hired hundreds of employees and plans to further expand its workforce in the future.

According to Lyft's annual filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as of the end of last year, the company's total global workforce was 2,934.

Additionally, Lyft announced on Wednesday that it has acquired the high-end chauffeur service company TBR Global Chauffeuring for £83 million (approximately $111.13 million) in cash plus contingent costs. Through this acquisition, Lyft will expand its business into the high-end ground transportation market, covering over 3,000 cities in 120 countries worldwide
