"Lyft, which completed a $600m fundraising in April, has expanded into 150 new cities this year " seems like this would skew the numbers a bit. Uber is already everywhere it needs to be in the US. Lyft is irrelevant until they prove they can compete internationally imo, they are way behind uber here
- boulos 9y agoIrrelevant is a strong term. I agree that I still have Uber installed precisely because I travel internationally, but for my use here in the US I've switched entirely to Lyft (and been pleasantly surprised! Though I'm still waiting for them to make it easier to switch between the different levels of service to compare rates).
- bsder 9y ago> Lyft is irrelevant until they prove they can compete internationally imo, they are way behind uber here Why should they compete internationally? From what I can see, international competition is wildly unprofitable, subject to the whims and vicissitudes of local politicians, and subject to local competition who understand their market far better than any foreign firm.
- aianus 9y agoInternational travel is a major use case for these apps. When I'm traveling I don't have my car with me and my usage of Uber skyrockets.
