Here in Minneapolis, Lyft seems more popular among my crowd, but people still use "Uber" for the verb a lot. Like at least once a week I hear some variation on: Person 1: "Are we ubering to the game tonight?" Person 2: "Yeah, I'll call a lyft in like 10 minutes" Which to me is really interesting from a linguistic standpoint. (Both that Uber became a verb so quick, and that it is becoming a generic term already). Incidentally, I've heard people say "lyfting" as well, but that always has referred to getting an actual Lyft, whereas "ubering" seems to refer to both just fine.
