I've had the opposite experience - It was 1:45am At SJC, and Uber surge pricing for the ride home from the airport was $210.00 (this exceeded the cost of the airfare to fly 3,000 miles). I was grateful to take a Lyft home for $28.00.

Ultimately I feel I've had both experiences depending on which locale I'm in. Depending on whether 1, the other or both ave a critical mass of vehicles in an area on any given night, I've seen either be cheaper/faster (although I find overall anecdotally that Lyft does better in places I frequent on the West Coast, Cleveland and Dallas. Everywhere else it's seemingly totally up for grabs), but neither service seems canonically "better" except that Lyft seems as mentioned previously, slightly less ethically challenged than Uber (a threshold that isn't hard to beat frankly).
