Not to mention that Uber's business model is to break a law, settle up once they've become established, break some other laws, negotiate a fine which is less than the money they've made, etc. This isn't to say that their service is bad or that they shouldn't exist, but if companies were people, Uber would have been in jail. I don't know much about Lyft in this respect. They've also made the term 'surge pricing' a respectable term. The old name for this was 'gouging'. > > Uber caught political flak over the weekend after they cut their rates and > sent drivers to JFK yesterday while the union cab drivers were boycotting > over the immigration ban, after which Lyft donated $1M to the ACLU. > > >> Any one have thoughts on Lyft vs. Uber? >> Or thoughts on using either of them? >> >> Thanks >> _______________________________________________ >> MacGroup mailing list >> Posting address: [email protected] >> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> >> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > MacGroup mailing list > Posting address: [email protected] > Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> > Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
