Lyft exists in the regulatory slipstream of Uber. It can focus on profitable markets, and leave it up to Uber to fight City Hall and spend the money habituating new regions to the idea of ride sharing. From a user point of view, the product is indistinguishable from Uber. If I had to own shares in one company, it would probably be Lyft.
