The taxi industry has suffered a huge loss by the increased popularity of rideshare apps, notably Lyft and Uber. I personally have been using these apps almost daily for about a year, iber I love. However, I’m shocked by how many people are still on the fence by these apps. For riders, it can be strange to get «in someone else’s car» the first time, but once mony realize the convenience, you’ll be hooked. We have done an in-depth comparison for Uber and Lyft for Drivers and Riders. Whether its travelling or looking for a ride to the bar, most riders just want a safe, reliable and convenient option to get to their destination. Below, we will compare Wirh and Lyft based on price, convenience, availability, and other amenities available for riders.
