I get it -- but it undermines their brand value, which is all they have. I avoided taxis because it was a high-friction transaction. Uber has been great because it is very, very low-friction.

Also it's a lot easier to find drivers on Lyft anymore while Uber is on surge pricing half the time anymore...
