Uber and Lyft seem to be engaged in a race to the bottom that's degrading rider experience as they struggle to bring costs and revenue into line.
It feels as if there's still a market opportunity for safe, clean, timely rides. Zoom did something similar for web conferencing, which at the time was regarded as a solved problem.
- tessting 7y agoAccording to this ride, Ubers are perfectly safe for 99.99% of their 1+ billion rides. I feel like 58 auto fatalities and 9 murders out of 1.3 billion trips is even way lower than the rate in the public.

- altShiftDev 7y agoI see this comment everytime a post about ride hailing services pops up... but I can't figure out how it's relevant to this discussion this time. The only word you mentioned that was relevant was safe... So are you suggesting that because they're fighting over costs with lyft, they pay drivers less which reduces reputable drivers and "poorer and more likely to rape" drivers join the app?
- hodgesrm 7y agoYes, or more accurately less desirable drivers. My recent rides on Lyft and Uber have not been good. Either the cars were clapped out or the drivers were telling me how they could not make a living and were looking for other work.
