      I don’t use rideshare but I’m curious if folks use apps that do comparisons between Uber and Lyft, as the internet says such apps exist.

      I’ve basically just stopped using them in general unless it’s a large group of people.

      They became so insanely expensive over the last like six or seven years maybe? When I lived the single professional life in the early teens and went out a lot with friends on the weekend, the $20 round trip to the bar, or concert, etc., was great. Now it’s rare if they’re under $25 one way.

      I’ll just pay to park, not drink, and save the $75+ I would have spent on Uber and a couple cocktails.

      They have def gotten more expensive, but still way better than calling a cab.

      Anecdotally, a 4.8 mile trip in RI on 12/30 was $29.xx with Lyft and $14.xx with Uber. I always check both before I book because this happens frequently. In Seattle, I now routinely take regular taxis home because > 90% of the time it’s cheaper than uber or Lyft

      Price check what? Uber missed a ride to the airport on me and so I just use Lyft. The fuck am I supposed to price check?

      It is absolutely registered in their long time pricing algorithm for you when you start the app, drill down to the pricing page and then leave. They send me messages like ‚you’ll be back…“

      I don’t have a car so I use Uber and Lyft regularly. I also used to drive for them and have about 10k rides.

      Whenever I need to order a ride, I check both apps and pick the one that’s cheaper. It’s the only thing I care about – price

      Uber, Doordash etc the kind of shit that would have been regulated out of existence back when we had functional consumer protection laws.

      Yes, I would always check both and sometimes there were significant differences. Might just be due to random luck of supply/demand in your area at the time.

      Lyft used to be cheaper than Uber
      But for the most of 2025,Uber was consistently cheaper and more reliable than Lyft
      Every driver who ever cancelled my ride was from Lyft

      I also use the EV option when available. It’s usually a bigger car than a standard car

      And then I’d have to keep two apps on my phone, no thanks. I don’t care what it costs as long as it’s available when I want it.
