"Lyft has since ditched the facial hair, but it hasn’t matured much geographically. It remains a North American business predominantly focused on the U.S. market. And while Uber has enjoyed the Covid-precipitated boom in food delivery over the past few years, Lyft remains largely a rideshare company."
"But Lyft’s total revenue is forecast by analysts to remain less than a third of Uber’s global ride-hailing business alone this year"
"Not surprisingly, Uber is racing to broaden its horizons, adding taxi and other travel bookings as well as alcohol and grocery delivery. For now, Lyft is still chugging along the same beaten path."
Lyft is a purely rideshare company in only the US market. Uber is doing all kinds of different shit, globally. Yet the article makes it seem strange that Lyft is "eating Uber's dust", when they are barely comparable.
- twelve40 4y agowell, they do compete head-on in US and a bigger company with more worldwide revenue could displace the other one, so from that angle the comparison seems relevant.
- ergocoder 4y agoLyft turned me off in the beginning. Pink mustache. Fist bump. Small talk. Some sort of hip cult. What the heck... I just wanted to go from A to B. I'm sure I'm not alone. But I've switched to Lyft though mainly because a lot of friends work there.
