Their success is largely due to the fact that American cities are built so poorly. Emphasizing suburban sprawl and associated highway, parking, and street infrastructure over safe and walkable/bikable cities. Also investor subsidies due to low interest loans or cheap money from banks. Although that is quickly going away. If it weren’t for these two items, Lyft/Uber would just be another mediocre taxi service.
