Unlikely. While you and I may comparison shop, most people aren't going to download a new app, enter their CC information, etc., just to skip a short surge period. I don't check Taxi prices when Uber has a high surge during a storm.
Additionally, many drivers who use both apps will simply stop driving, so Lyft is likely to see a surge as well.
- xref 8y ago“most people aren't going to download a new app” That assertion needs some data to back it up. In fact I’d put my money on “most people” having both Uber/Lyft installed.
- DINKDINK 8y ago>most people aren't going to download a new app Fair counter. There will be some lock in. Given that both platforms have similar pricing means that there are strong arbitrage forces at play that keep them in check.
