I don't think the argument here is over the scale or the percent of rides that were fake. The argument here was "Is Uber trying to shut down Lyft, through a variety of tactics?". I'd have to say yes, they are trying their best to block Lyft out of the business by limiting the key resource, drivers.
- mayanksinghal 12y ago> Is Uber trying to shut down Lyft, through a variety of tactics? But not through cancelled rides, right? I don't understand how Uber trying to recruit drivers is any different from any tech company trying to recruit me.
- mkadin 12y agoStraight up, this is a key point. Lyft is in 64 cities. 5500 canceled rides over a year is peanuts. That's 1 cancel per city per 3 or 4 days. I can't believe this is even a story.
- DanBC 12y agoIt's a story because it's an abusive tactic. It harms individual drivers to try to benefit a very wealthy company. It's a story because Uber thinks they need to do it. Does that then mean that Uber thinks they can't compete on quality of product and price of product?
