Before ordering a ride, Uber always shows ~2 mins wait time. After placing an order, it goes up to 6-9 mins. Their GPS is also bad quality. I live in the downtown of a big city. Lyft drivers come right away, consistently. Lately, for the same reason, I have started using them. Whereas, Uber's drivers keep on circling around until I call them and give them directions. Their reason - it's these big buildings. I respond by saying: these big buildings also exist for Lyft. In a nutshell, this Uber feature is already there for me. I will admit - Uber's prices are mostly lower than Lyft.

Turn off "Live Location Sharing" when you are around tall buildings especially on iOS. I commute via Uber/Lyft every day and this happens to me often and I've found that relying on the actual address instead of using location sharing gets me the best results. In most open places Live Location Sharing can be great especially in crowds or when dealing with intersections but it is too sensitive in areas with congested Wi-Fi signals or tall buildings.
