I'm not sure this is true and, even if it is, it may be completely missing the point. A big benefit about Uber is it allows people to generate income from an asset many of them already have ie a car. What's more, they can do it in a flexible way. I've spoken to a few Uber drivers and a common story has been that they started doing it between jobs. Some kept doing it. I'm sure others finally got jobs. As far as Lyft goes, I just don't buy that Lyft has some moral high ground here. They're playing a desperate catch up game and playing the "good guy" card is cheap marketing. I see a lot of their ads on TV actually. Some of them are done quite well but, for me, they can also miss the point. Like they tout the ability to tip as a plus. Lots of people hate tipping, myself included. It's a big reason why I use Uber rather than Lyft, possibly the only reason. What's so wrong with transparency of pricing?
