You are 'literally' watching Uber take a 'dramatic' hit. Okay.
Extremely price competitive market, yet you only mention Lyft.
> Lyft came to town and probably 80% of the drivers solely use them now, driving up the Uber prices.
Where did you get your numbers from? Just making stuff up as you go?
> Now, I only use Lyft - as do most of the people.
I only use Uber - as do most of the people. See how this generic mud-slinging like commentary works?
> Plus, most of the Uber drivers are shady here
Making blanket statements with words like 'shady' and 'here' is cheap.
You did not mention a single, verifiable fact. I can apply this kind of narrative to pretty much anything.
> I honestly still don't see them making it out of their situation.
Wrap it up with a cliche 'honesty...'. I do not understand comments like this; how much is Lyft paying you?

- goodladjohnny 9y agoThat said, harsh — maybe, but @korzun still has a point. Original comment is (clearly) biased and doesn't align with the actual facts. I wonder why it got upvoted in the first place. I don't think the accusation has been made because "one happens to hold a different view". It is harsh, but to be fair, OP failed to make a valid point.
