Ride-hailing group Lyft plans to have its initial public offering next month, according to Mashable. Both Lyft and its rival Uber announced 2019 IPOs last year.

While Lyft waits to go public, it is still releasing new app features. The most recent update is "Shared Savor," a feature that allows passengers to save money on their trip by walking a few blocks to a meeting point, thus allowing for better route optimization. Uber has a similar feature.
