I've been a heavy Uber user in SF since they started. I was first in line when they launched Uber X, then Uber cab. I then saw Lyft and Sidecar rise in the city and, honestly, do to Uber in a single month what Uber took about a year to do to the taxi industry. Lyft drivers are more friendly and totally trustworthy. The service is cheaper and there are a bunch of cars all around town. Why use Uber anymore, unless all Lyfts/Sidecars are taken?
To me this is clearly what this is about. Uber is already being disrupted, so they are desperate to lower their costs to be able to compete again. As a guy who literally gave up vehicle ownership just because of these services, all I can say is god bless startup darwinism.
