At the end of the day both are businesses. One has apparently owned that from the beginning. The other pretended not to at the beginning so they could bootstrap their company. Now Lyft is large enough that the facade is over, and it's clear that they're also just a business. But it feels like they lied to get ahead. I think that's where the frustration here is coming from. It amazes me to see how much client promotion work Lyft is doing. It's clear that they're struggling to get people to ride with Lyft. Talking to Lyft drivers who driver for both services, it sounds like they're routinely getting more business with Uber (when they have both apps open).
