I tried lyft once but quit after they lied about a discount. I was suppose to get a discount but never saw it activated.

Re: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
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.

RE: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
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 and the ETA. Since I go to many different places, some places are generally better with one or the other. As for discounts, I randomly get an email usually on Mondays from Uber giving $2, $4, 30% or 50% off for the next 10 rides during the week. Sometimes, nothing for a week. As for Lyft, I usually only get an offer to buy a monthly pass for $300 that gives up to $15 credits per ride for 30 rides.

Re: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
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 sometimes slightly faster I am happy with the service that both of them provide, far better than any cab company. In many cases, drivers drive for both services. > On Dec 22, 2018, at 4:29 PM, > wrote: > > I live out on Long Island about 50 miles outside of New York city and have > both available to me.

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 pickup location. When I entered the restaurant address, I got a warning that Lyft thought the address was significantly different from where Lyft thought I was. So, I switch to Uber and it figured out immediate where I was. Even using Uber though, the latest update makes it not obvious how to contact the driver. A sighted friend showed me where on the screen to tap to text my driver. It's not typically worth my time anymore to price shop the two apps before a short ride, but the app experience will make a difference. I will put a plug in that Uber support was really good about follow-up when I left my guide dog harness handle in a car and couldn't get the driver to respond. I still never got the handle back as the driver said she could not find it, but Uber supportseemed sincere in my concern and getting the driver to respond to them.

Most of the drivers work for both companies and I personally have found most to be very friendly and very helpful. On the other hand, I find Lyft more difficult to work with in the case of any dispute and I object to the way they handle any credits you may have on your account. There is an organization here which helps fund rides for the elderly and/or disabled. You purchase vouchers and they buy credits for you on the Lyft account for more than the vouchers coast. the problem arises when you have more than one credit and neither of them will fully cover the cost of a ride. They refuse to use more than one credit on a ride, so any overage will be charged to you on your method of payment and they will not take any driver tips from the credits. Uber, on the other hand combines all credits into one and uses it for any and all charges. So far as the costs of the fares, sometimes Uber is less, sometimes Lyft is less so it is up to you to check but the prices do not seem to vary all that much for me here in Reno.

RE: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
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 pickup location. When I entered the restaurant address, I got a warning that Lyft thought the address was significantly different from where Lyft thought I was. So, I switch to Uber and it figured out immediate where I was. Even using Uber though, the latest update makes it not obvious how to contact the driver. A sighted friend showed me where on the screen to tap to text my driver. It's not typically worth my time anymore to price shop the two apps before a short ride, but the app experience will make a difference. I will put a plug in that Uber support was really good about follow-up when I left my guide dog harness handle in a car and couldn't get the driver to respond. I still never got the handle back as the driver said she could not find it, but Uber supportseemed sincere in my concern and getting the driver to respond to them.

Most of the drivers work for both companies and I personally have found most to be very friendly and very helpful. On the other hand, I find Lyft more difficult to work with in the case of any dispute and I object to the way they handle any credits you may have on your account. There is an organization here which helps fund rides for the elderly and/or disabled. You purchase vouchers and they buy credits for you on the Lyft account for more than the vouchers coast. the problem arises when you have more than one credit and neither of them will fully cover the cost of a ride. They refuse to use more than one credit on a ride, so any overage will be charged to you on your method of payment and they will not take any driver tips from the credits. Uber, on the other hand combines all credits into one and uses it for any and all charges. So far as the costs of the fares, sometimes Uber is less, sometimes Lyft is less so it is up to you to check but the prices do not seem to vary all that much for me here in Reno.

RE: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
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 really a tomato/tommato type of deal.

RE: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
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 route or issues with being picked up and Lyft always handled them well and I was totally satisfied. Having said that and I am going to make a disclaimer here that I know the local neighborhood around where I work so I have no issue traveling to another point to be picked up. So to that point I work a couple of days a week in our Brooklyn office in New York City and within the 5 boroughs of NYC you have access to share a ride with another passenger to save money, however, Uber has an even more discounted share ride program called Uber Pool where you meet the driver sometime a block or two away and you save even more money . For example a typical normal Lyft / Uber ride to the Long Island Rail Road station is about $9.00 without sharing a ride. If you do Lyfts share ride it is like $5.00 and if you do the Uber Pool where you may walk a block or two away it is typically like $3.50 so in that instance and in the context of me knowing the neighborhood I would go with Uber. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

Re: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
I use both services and find the apps very similar and both easy to use. Most of the drivers work for both companies and I personally have found most to be very friendly and very helpful. On the other hand, I find Lyft more difficult to work with in the case of any dispute and I object to the way they handle any credits you may have on your account. There is an organization here which helps fund rides for the elderly and/or disabled. You purchase vouchers and they buy credits for you on the Lyft account for more than the vouchers coast. the problem arises when you have more than one credit and neither of them will fully cover the cost of a ride. They refuse to use more than one credit on a ride, so any overage will be charged to you on your method of payment and they will not take any driver tips from the credits. Uber, on the other hand combines all credits into one and uses it for any and all charges. So far as the costs of the fares, sometimes Uber is less, sometimes Lyft is less so it is up to you to check but the prices do not seem to vary all that much for me here in Reno.

Re: To Those Who Have Used both Uber and Lyft, A Question
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 > On Dec 22, 2018, at 12:12 PM, M.
