>Increased competition.
Maybe I'm weird, but:
1) I don't even look at what the price of lyft is. So they could up the price by a significant percentage I wouldn't even notice.
2) Even if Uber was more expensive than lyft, I would almost definitely still take uber.
- misun78 9y agoYou're not weird and this is precisely why Uber is still the market leader. But there is a cohort, in some specific areas where Lyft's network is on par with Uber's such that price, and more specifically targeted discounts, do play a part. Lyft can analyze which one of its riders has not taken a ride in a while (and is hence presumably using Uber) and target them with discounts.

- ironjunkie 9y agoyes you are weird. Every time I take an "expensive" ride (let's say more than 10$), I open both apps in parallel and take the cheapest. Even sometimes cancelling one to get the other if the price changed meanwhile.
