Which is more evil, Uber or Lyft?
Lyft appears to be a nicer guy, but from the ipo, it seems the same evil guy, or worse. 1) lyft ipoed at the highest possible price, making early investors exit with huge profits at the expense of everyone else. Uber at least lowed the ipo price and appears less greedy. 2) lyft’s driver award is unrealistically limited to very few drivers. Uber at least expand the beneficiary pool by several order of magnitude. 3) lyft ‘s cp claim is kind of misleading or less convincing.
Uber is bigger. Therefore more evil.
I don’t like virtue signaling. But to be fair: Lyfts cancellation policy is better and they tend to give free credit if you had cancellation fees.
Why is lyfts cancellation policy better? Please can you elaborate? And do you latest information from both the apps?
When the driver takes really long to arrive, i cancel and get charged. But when I submit a complaint, Lyft almost immediately reversed the charge (no human involved)
Portraying that Lyft is not/less evil is the biggest PR success story I have seen in my career.
It’s not as success so much as Uber had story after story. Apparently taxi drivers killed them selves as medallion prices plummeted in NYC. I learned that through your S-1 filing today (Page 31). To be fair, that’s not exclusively your company’s fault— there are other ride-share companies.
Exactly. That’s ridesharing model’s fault not Uber’s. Note though, 4-5 million drivers earn income through the Uber platform. That probably 100K times the number of traditional taxi driver jobs lost. This shows that the new market that Uber created benefits the society (both riders and drivers) in a much bigger way than the previous taxi model. The society needed Uber to exist.
Lyft is an elaborate troll
There were no profits at the expense of anyone else in the ipo. Someone willingly bought the shares.
People who make a big show of how virtuous they are, are insufferable. For-profit companies that do the same, are evil.
We should hang out bro!
^Is this how that “sex in the bathroom” thing at Facebook came about?
