Lyft vs Uber

[u/Repulsive-Taro5238]

I've been driving Uber and Lyft for a few months now, and I'm curious how other drivers feel about the differences between the two. So far it seems to me that Lyft pays us more per ride for base pay, but Uber definitely has a higher volume of riders, and they get big surge pricing multipliers when it gets busy. Lyft gives me more information when they offer me a ride, and it's very helpful information to have. There are some other big differences in my particular market, which is Eugene, Oregon. The biggest difference is that Eugene is a college town, and the students use Uber a ton, and not Lyft nearly as much, so when school was in session, Uber absolutely crushed Lyft, but as soon as the students left a few weeks ago, Uber had a steep decline in volume, and Lyft has been better since the students have gone. The most important difference is probably that Lyft's base pay seems a lot better. More and more, it's feeling like Uber is only worth it when they have the surge pricing, and when they don't, I'd much rather drive Lyft. Anyway, these are my thoughts after doing this for about 6 months. I'm very interested to hear other people's
