  But that's just the aggregate US figure, right? Individual cities, especially "bellwether" ones, might show Lyft past the tipping point.

I hadn't done so yet, but this article has reminded me of it and I'm installing Lyft now. As much as we hate to think it, both awareness and social proof in decision making matter. And while I wouldn't have admitted it, part of it was thinking in the back of my head that quitting wouldn't make a difference. Seeing the graph showing the real impact of the #quituber campaign was both surprising and to be perfectly honest a bit motivating to me to keep to my word to use Lyft. Maybe not a full quit, but at least a 50/50.

  For what it's worth, Lyft wasn't even available in my city until very recently (Houston). I've been using Lyft recently now because I have fewer doubts about the ethics of the company. As a customer, it's extremely easy to switch from one to the other. As far as I can tell Uber has exactly zero selling points over Lyft for a regular customer like me.
