Lyft are spending time and money on things like this (it looks great to be fair) but they can't be bothered to compete with Uber in markets outside of the US.

Seems a bit of a shame really...
- jedberg 11y agoThey need to grow within their budget -- Uber has way more funding than they do. Lyft is scaling by leveraging technology to be better. Uber is doing that but also burning cash opening in new markets. The only way Lyft can compete is to out-innovate Uber.
- deegles 11y agoPlus, why waste money validating the market when Uber is doing it for them :)

- andy_ppp 11y agoIf I was Uber I would love to have a competitor as callow as Lyft; they seem willing to cede whole markets up front. For me it's as weak as not internationalising your software; if you wanna downvoted for this view point that's fine btw but I stand by it! EDIT: downvoters, Lyft has $2.01 BILLION dollars in funding... It's ridiculous to suggest they shouldn't be competing with Uber internationally!
