Ok you need the following code to achieve this effect: (I am going to use jQuery as it is the bootstrap supported language).

jQuery:

/**
 * Listen to scroll to change header opacity class
 */
function checkScroll(){
    var startY = $('.navbar').height() * 2; //The point where the navbar changes in px

    if($(window).scrollTop() > startY){
        $('.navbar').addClass("scrolled");
    }else{
        $('.navbar').removeClass("scrolled");
    }
}

if($('.navbar').length > 0){
    $(window).on("scroll load resize", function(){
        checkScroll();
    });
}

You can also use ScrollSpy to do this.

and your CSS (example):

/* Add the below transitions to allow a smooth color change similar to lyft */
.navbar {
    -webkit-transition: all 0.6s ease-out;
    -moz-transition: all 0.6s ease-out;
    -o-transition: all 0.6s ease-out;
    -ms-transition: all 0.6s ease-out;
    transition: all 0.6s ease-out;
}

.navbar.scrolled {
    background: rgb(68, 68, 68); /* IE */
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.78); /* NON-IE */
}
