Lyft, has a name that is not distinctive from the English word "lift", which may make for a nice pun, but it's harder to express in conversation that you'll use a ride-sharing service rather than just calling a friend. "I'll get a lift."
Uber has a lot more brand recognition, but like Chik-fil-A they are also known by a minority for terrible business practices and are on unofficial boycott.
- scintill76 10y agoYou're saying Chick-fil-A has terrible business practices? The only reason I know for people to hate them is that their owners have taken Christianity-based opposition to gay marriage (or something alone these lines), which doesn't really seem like a business practice of the restaurants.
- panglott 10y agoPerhaps I should have said just "terrible practices". The brand is about perception, and lots of liberals perceive Chik-fil-A as materially supporting regressive social values. Too bad the chicken is fantastic. With Uber you have the perception that the company is exploiting drivers, driving down wages, disregarding how it puts women at risk, and all kinds of sexist behavior. http://time.com/3595318/uber-sexism-tech-delete-app/ http://time.com/3595318/uber-sexism-tech-delete-app/
