unsurprising. the experience with Lyft is terrible. the last three times I attempted to call one I had to give up waiting for a driver after nearly 40 minutes.

drivers will accept the ride, and then just never show up. I watched them on the map---I think they are driving Uber routes for other customers while simultaneously "accepting" my ride
- jacurtis 3y agoThey definitely are. When I take Uber/Lyft I notice that most drivers are running both apps. As they get towards my destination they will start bobbing for fares between the two apps. Maybe Uber is paying slightly more for drivers? I don't know, but maybe that is why they tend to favor Uber rides over Lyft. Maybe they are more likely to get tips on Uber. Just some theories. But I have noticed the same thing, most drivers tend to favor Uber. So if they gets rides from both, they will cancel the Lyft one. I used to switch between the apps based on price of rides. Now I have AMEX rewards for Uber plus I get Marriott points when I ride, so that is why I have moved exclusively to Uber. But the drivers are the same. It's the same pool of drivers, using both apps.
