I don’t know about that. Me and everyone I know use Uber as a verb but then always order from Lyft. I used to do it for the political reasons, but at this point it’s mostly just muscle memory. When I do open the Uber app the prices are usually equivalent.


I deliberately default to Lyft because of the "Travis Kalanick days." I don't even know if Uber are a terrible, shitty company anymore, but they once were, and that permanently changed my behavior. I'll probably never buy a Tesla for the same reason.


If you want proof that they’re still a shitty company, search up uber showergate
