The way it was explained to me by someone who drives for both Uber and Lyft (which isn't a common thing, by the way, contrary to popular belief): Prospective Lyft drivers actually have to undergo an orientation where they are essentially screened and given basic training by a Lyft driver. Prospective Uber drivers, on the other hand, can start working right away without even a face-to-face meeting with anyone. All they have to do is apply online. Not sure how accurate this is, but anecdotally, I've always noticed that Lyft drivers have better customer service skills than Uber drivers, and are more personable.

Every I've talked to who has done one has done both. > Prospective Uber drivers, on the other hand, can start working right away without even a face-to-face meeting with anyone. All they have to do is apply online. It's not quite "right away", you still have to go through a background screening, which can take quite a while. With Lyft, I had my mentor orientation the day after I applied and was approved 3 days after. Uber, on the the hand, while not requiring an in-face meeting, took 3 weeks to finally approve me, after requiring additional documentation regarding my driving record on my previous license.
