I said me there..why a negative for that?

lyft is dirtier
Re: Uber Opens Its API
#23also, here in denver, most uber drivers are also lyft drivers. i.e. drivers keep both apps running to increase their chances of getting a request.

I think the thing I find most objectionable about Uber's behaviour is that they're already winning anyway. They don't even need to do this kind of thing, and punching down never looks pretty.

#26uber moves pretty fast. I think their speed of innovation is commendable. But 17 billion USD evaluation still seem unjustified to me.
Valuations are about the best possible future. In that future , nobody uses a car but uses UBER to order a personal or a shared car(automated or manual). 17 Billion is nothing for that.

Really? That's marvelous. Is there an app begging to be written here? For the independent driver's needs, not for the supplier (Uber/Lyft etc). An aggregator of ride request feeds.

Of course it is. In many places (eg Toronto) I can only choose between Uber and Taxis so I'm going to go with Uber.
There is a third choice: neither. You're in Toronto for crying out loud - despite the kvetching of its residents the TTC is one of the best transit systems on the continent. Uber is shady as fuck, so is the cab industry. Pointing out the degrees to which they are shady is not particularly useful and serves only to rationalize supporting unethical actors.
What's shady about an Uber ride? I've taken dozens and not a single one gave me any problems whatsoever.
No one's going to care how the front office of Uber acts if the product they offer is solid.
