How to rent a Bird scooter using Lyft in San Antonio

How it works: Riders can tap the scooter icon at the bottom of the Lyft screen to see a map of available scooters.

• They can then unlock a scooter by using the Lyft app to scan its QR code.
• Participating scooters will have a Lyft sticker on them.
• Everything is done in the Lyft app, so riders don't have to download a separate app or add new payment information.

Zoom out: San Antonio is one of 26 cities nationwide included in the new partnership, with more to follow in the coming weeks.

What they're saying: "Our ultimate goal is to make it just as easy to get around cities via multimodal transportation as it is with a personal car," Bird co-CEO Stewart Lyons said in a statement.
