I tried lyft once but quit after they lied about a discount. I was suppose to get a discount but never saw it activated. I was charged almost $8 for a ride less than 2 miles. character is found in how you treat people who cannot do anything for you!     ***

I find the lyft app easier to use, but they do update and periodically change the format. For example, with Uber you set your pick up point first, while with lyft, you set up your destination first. This can be confusing if you use both. Andy - Original Message - From: "Wayne

Catching up on holiday emails so am a little late on this topic. The one thing I'll say which has not been mentioned yet is it seems that in Austin, Texas, where we have both, Uber Pool used to be a set price no matter the distance. However, I have found that Uber Pool, their carpool service, has

I use both and one thing is both apps can have updates which means things can change. With my current versions, Lyft changed it where you specify where you are going first and then work on where you are getting picked up. Uber, is the other way. I usually check both apps and compare the price

We have both in Saint Louis. In many cases, if I need to go to and from a destination, I will take one service one way and the other service on the return trip, just because I want to support both of them. I have found that Lyft provides discounts more often than Uber does, but Uber is

I use both. While I tend to use Lyft more, it often comes down to which app is easier to use at the time. Updates change things, as we all know, and sometimes one app will feel more clunky. The other night I was at a restaurant and Lyft could not seem to figure out where I was to populate my

speaking of specials offered by Lyft, here is an experience I don't care to repeat. On my main screen there was an offer saying my ride would be free and stated "Good Deal" I clicked on it but when I completed the ride, not only did I get charged for the ride but they charged my credit card

Indeed, if those types of things matter, Lyft's generally considered to be the more ethical of the two services. Around here (Southern California), Uber on average seems to be cheaper, but for the most part, I take Lyft when I need a ride. Often though, drivers work for both companies. So it's

Mark, I've had excellent success with both Uber and Lyft. I can't say I've had accessibility problems with either app. I personally prefer Lyft which stems more from Uber's past CEO and some of the things done while he was at the helm not from any personal negative experience with the service.

I live out on Long Island about 50 miles outside of New York city and have both available to me. Having said that while out on the island I tend to use Lyft 90 percent of the time as I find most quotes are less pricing wise. I have had a couple of issues with how a driver chose to drive a

The two apps feel almost identical to me. I will look at them both, to see which one has the cheapest rate before booking a ride. Having said this, I tend to prefer Lyft slightly more because they have a toll-free number you can call if your driver decides to discriminate against you. Michael
