Sure, it's easier to go from 100 to 110 rides than it is to go from 200 to 220 rides. As they say, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.

- eregorn 9y agoFrom what I can tell, this is more like 100 to 120 vs 200 to 215. The article starts off saying lyft increased bookings by 200 million while Uber is claiming a "mid-teens" number.
