Thanks | Only difference I noticed last year between the two apps was Uber for some reason doesn't display the car colour. I'm not sure if that's been updated.

Thanks | Lyft is cheaper than Uber during busy times when Uber would activate their surge charge. Can't exactly remember the specifics but iirc Lyft's version of surge charge is capped I think whereas Uber has no cap which is why you sometimes hear of surge charge horror stories

Used Uber a couple weeks ago in Tacoma. Took a cab from the hotel to Chambers Bay and it was $35. Uber back was only $18. Girl that picked us up was super outgoing and hilarious. Will definitely use Uber when it comes here.
Took a $120 cab ride home from Metallica last week, left my bag of swag in the cab and it's gone forever. Would it be easy to reconnect with an Uber driver if necessary? Could be even more reason to use the service..

Hmm... interesting... I wonder what kind of values Uber has/represents that do not align with Earnest. Or more realistically, why Earnest thinks it was a bad move for them to be associated with the Uber name?

Another reason why Uber is a shit company, and people shouldn't be begging them to come. Lyft on the other hand... | muffin, someone didn't get their freebie

Could be even more reason to use the service.. | Not sure if theres a messaging system built into the app, but at the very least you would know exactly who you drove with and what vehicle you were in, as opposed to cabs where you'd have to go out of your way to take note of that info
