Prefer Lyft drivers? Almost every Lyft driver also drives for Uber.
- fastball 9y agoStats? From my experience in Austin, Lyft drivers have mostly been "I work from my car starting a business / I drive around in my car for other reasons and I do Lyft literally on the side (as in: I was already driving this way, or similar)" Driving for Uber may be a second/additional job for many people, but I have never had an Uber driver seem like it was a super casual thing they do for a few extra bucks.
- misun78 9y agoStats - I’m an Uber employee who can’t disclose much more than the general statement from above :) There is almost no reason for a Lyft driver to also not do Uber for maximum earnings potential. Uber on the other hand has enough volume that drivers can operate at a max efficiency without the hassle of managing and switching statuses across multiple apps.
- fastball 9y agoYou're right, but I guess I'm comparing all of the different places where I've used the two, including many where I've only used Uber. For instance in London and other European cities, Uber drivers seem to almost all drive for Uber nearly full-time.
- nemothekid 9y agoIME, Lyft drivers tend to also drive for Uber but not the other way around.
