If you are serious you will drive for both. Run both apps at the same time, accept a request when it comes and turn off the other app. It means that you won't wait as long between rides.

*Taxis are better* - said nobody ever

I almost always use Lyft. Cheaper, and I prefer supporting the little guy to encourage competition 😀

FedEx vs UPS

What about fake taxi

I drove for Uber for 6 months and switched over to Lyft. No comparison - Lyft beats Uber hands down!

They both need to treat their drivers better but taxis are overpriced so ridesharing wins.

Lyft has a better vibe, tips and Lyft pays a higher percentage to the driver than Uber. Every driver I meet that does both has said they like the people from Lyft more too.

I've been driving for 10 months with over 1100 ride. - I drive for Uber and Lyft part time. I've preferred uber most of the time because of way more business and the per ride income is slightly higher. But lyft has recently been becoming better business wise. - I love the uber app over Lyft functionally. - Uber also has guaranteed boost zone during certain parts of the week in certain areas where i drive. I pick you up in that boost area, i get anywhere between 1.2 to 1.9x (20-90%) more whatever the trip would cost just because. - Lyft as also started doing this in certain markets so it evens out the playing field. - I can make anywhere between $17-25 an hour a week when i average my time and income out. some markets are more. some less. just all depends on where you drive, what time of day, how many other drivers and how busy it is.

0:05 "how did i ever like without it?"

If you're just getting started go with lyft, they get back to you faster and won't have you jump through a million hoops before you're even hired. They'll literally send you a debit card in the mail, have you set up direct deposit and watch orientation videos before they will ever pay you a dime. They'll steal your time and give you a giant headache

I like Lyft better. But in the burbs they are far and few between. Uber it seems ur dealing with the lowest of the low of society. Drunks, dui's, rehab people, more drunks, disrespectful college students, etc. So if u want to have the most dangerous minimum wage job ever here are a few more things that happened in my first 6 weeks. I've been punched in the head, had a gun pulled on a customer who stiffed his dealer, cursed at, verbally abused numerous times, been used as a drug dealer car, and literally picked up someone fleeing from the police, people try to eat, drink and smoke in my brand new car, had moms smack/abuse their kids, had moms not bring child carrier, had pregnant lady who I had to rush to the er, had a suicidal guy, ankle monitors, And of course they don't tip because they feel their $8 door to door ride is a fortune to them so it must be to u. And my car was totaled by a guy texting and driving who plowed straight into the back of us just a month ago. We Got put in the hospital but what's even worse is dealing with uber's insurance company. It literally added insult to injury.

Slavery vs slavery

are you going to do South Korea vs North Korea

lyft the drivers are more respected by the service

I actually had an uber ad before this XD

I began driving for Lyft on 1705.08. It's fun part-time work. I enjoy driving and am a good driver. Lyft takes 25% of the gross income. (They don't touch the tips.) It takes about $40 to fill my tank, so I have to earn about $50 just to cover my gas. I want to earn a minimum of $100 net each time I go out driving, so I need to gross $125. Therefore, I need to gross about $175 to net $100. It sometimes takes about 10 hours to reach $175 gross. Since that's really only a net of $100, I'm earning about $10 an hour. Take out taxes and vehicle maintenance and I'm only earning about $5 an hour. Hmmm. Although it's a fun part-time job, It doesn't seem worth the struggle, does it?

This is honestly one of my favourite channels on youtube. Keep going these amazing videos! Love you from Europe!

"Taxis are better" say people who don't have access to either Uber or Lyft...

I've been using them both for almost 2 years now and have yet to have a single incident, about 400 trips or so. I've talked w drivers who have used both and most say they like Lyft.

I like lyft its like a friend is giving me a ride whereas Uber I feel like a former cab driver is picking me up.

Personally, driving for Lyft is my side hustle, and I average $20-$25/hr in the PNW, that's including tips, even after gas, oil changes, and any other relevant maintenance, it's still with it for me... I do most of my preventative maintenance as well, and my car is paid off. This shouldn't be your main source of income but more of a second source of income.

Better title would be “Who Steals More Lyft or Uber?”

Lyft here has nice and polite people compared to Uber drivers (in AZ).

I drove for Uber when I first moved to LA, I’ve made from $1,600 working 50 hours, I’ve made $320 working 13 hours a week. You can make decent money in the right area. And that was just my side job. I was making bank. But I moved out of LA and back to Tallahassee. I have been thinking about driving for Uber here, but it probably wouldn’t pay as well as it did in LA where a lot of people don’t have vehicles.

Hi guys! I'm Mr. Meeseeks!

Only one way to settle this... Drift Race!

We don't have lyft here.

You can & should just use both as a passenger and as a driver because of how much it varies place to place and time to time.

Thank you, The Infographics show. You have a OUTSTANDING COOL video!

I use Lyft. Uber banned me after hitting submit. I didn’t even get to type my credit card in. Lyft is much better though and it’s here in Florida. You didn’t put a pin there.

Lyft is opening in anchorage Alaska , Fairbanks Alaska, and Juneau Alaska tomorrow !

i use both depending on what is cheaper, but that ends up being lyft, usually.

I used to do uber, I was averaging $3 an hour take home. Now I'm doing lyft, im averaging $6 to $9 an hour. Minimum wage is $12 an hour now, both companies are paying less than minimum wage, but at least lyft pays little bit more than uber.

I like lyft. In DC they are nicer than the uber drivers. & the cars are always cleaner for some reason

I got an Uber ad before this video...

I Don t know for other countries but here in Monaco there is Uber Helicopter.

But lyft treats me better and has better promotions because I actually get promotions with lyft.

What are these window stickers you talk of?

Please do Amazon vs Walmart

I'm a lyft driver. I drive a base model trailblazer and only work during the night on average I pull about 400/week after gas costs the Detroit fair rates are not the greatest for a midsized suv .75¢/mile and .1125¢/minute so it depends on how far you are willing to go

If your at Disney Parks but you don’t want to wait for a shuttle to bring you to the parks, surely while transportation is provided for free and takes more time, Uber and Lyft cost like $20 to $30 bucks and gets you there quick. I personally take the shuttle so I can hear the all classical “Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Walt Disney World Transportation System!” spiel. Yes, I’m a Disney fan, so??

I don't always uber,but when I do I prefer Dos Equis

lyft best

I use Lyft because the service is more affordable than that of Uber.

I did an experiment while waiting at the airport for a run here in Charlotte. I turned both on and was at 24 que position with both. I waited and waited, but finally got a call to pick up someone on Uber. I checked my position on Lyft and was still at 20.

At 4:40 why tf do they represent a Prius with a mixture of a 70 challenger and a 69 camaro with a wide body kit on it. Last time I checked a Prius is not as badass as the camaro or challenger. Have a Prius be represented by a potato or the actual car.

Can you do nike vs adidas or adidas vs nike

Uber like a crazy taxi Lyft is like a friend

how would I even like without this channel

I love taking lyft

Meth vs Heroin

Lyft wins for me. My Lyft rating is higher because it asks customers to rate by keeping a pop-up rating screen for 24 - 48 hours after the ride. Riders still aren't required to rate though, but the Lyft app auto rates to 5-stars after that time. For a newer driver like me, or someone picking up in a new area- that's really important! Uber needs to do this too. Another thing about Lyft, I like, is that I can do it in most other states without having to reapply initially. Lyft gives me a few months grace period in a new state, unlike little Uber.

SPOILER ALERT: Tons of needless info, and doesn't even answer the question asked in the title of the video.

25% for commission. Why so much? It's not like your leasing a car from them. It should be more like 2.5%

Nordstrom vs. Macy's

Need a ride ??? Lyft is your better choice... “Ask anyone “ Just download the app ⛅️

With both companies now public. You can now really compare them. But with coronavirus it be hard to tell which is better.

Texas vs California!

Uber. as a driver and passenger. I think Uber is better. IF LYFT was bigger in my state. I'd go with LYFT.

Surge pricing is criminal and a slap in the face to all their customers. Thank you so much for requesting our services, we appreciate so much that while things are toughest for you we will jack up your rate 2-300 times!

Well Lyft has turned up paying less than Uber. Big reason is that they don’t charge extra for drivers to drive to long destinations to pick up a customer. I shut off Lyft and now I make around 25% more. Best move I ever did.

At 3:18 the drivers drove on a red light but never got a ticket ! 😮 !

How did I ever like without it

I worked for uber for a little while. I want to get back in the mix. I picked up about 5 ppl in one day and said I'm tired and went home ;) I would like to lease a vehicle I have a regular job but I can do uber for my side hustle and pay for a new car with those earnings

The down side of lift for drivers is that they are not allowed to defend themselves

I'm using ola in India because it alot cheap then uber

lift is Made by markiplier

I think it depends on where you are as to how prominent Lyft is compared to Uber. Here in MN it seems easier to find an Uber driver over a Lyft driver. I had scheduled a Lyft ride, it told me the ride was confirmed but then it was cancelled day of because there weren't any drivers around. So I then used Uber and was able to find someone right away. Granted it was at 3:30am. So I know there aren't a whole lot of drivers around at that point anyway, but I still needed to get to the airport. I am going to try driving with both and see how it goes.

TODAY I GOT CHARGE 25.80 FOR 12 MINTS DRIVE BY LYFT , I CALLED REGULAR CAP FOR THE SAME DISTANCE THEY SAID 15 DOLLARS I TRAY TO CALL LYFT BUT NO NUMBER THESE IS IN VA

CHUG ME UNTIL I RUN OUT

Ayyyyyy first ppl squad here!

It depends what day of the week it is . They are 2 company's that are competing with each other .

There's only UBER in Hong Kong and no LYFT, but the taxi drivers in Hong Kong got so mad they forced the government to take action. UBER is now on the edge of the cliff in Hong Kong.

Lyft got rid of the moustache several months ago (this video is one month old at the time of writing this).

maybe markipler made lyft because of the pink moustache

I love how I got an Uber ad on this video

I actually prefer taxis. They are about the same price as both Uber/Lyft in my town, but with better, faster drivers. They also have a quicker response time. My city isn't big, but Uber drivers sometimes take over 20mins to reach you. The longest a taxi ever took for me was 7min.

I got an Uber ad before I saw the video

NOTIFICATION SQUAD. PLEASE LOVE THIS COMMENT MR. INFOGRAPH

Mr. Infographic i loving your content it really LYFTS my spirits ;)

Depends on where u are located. I've noticed I get more rides with uber but get paid more per ride with lyft. Just depends on the market.

cola vs pepsi

do Taiwan vs PRC

Great video as usual. can you tell me the software used to make these animated videos?

down fall with Lyft is you pay full tolls for sitting at DFW airport, Example you sit and wait for a ride, your cost to leave the airport is $8 , you take the passanger to drop off, Lyft gets 30% of ride you get $18, so now you made $10 for 2 hrs of work , and you still have to deduct 20% for gas and car expenses. !!

Does your insurance company know you're driving for Uber or Lyft?

Who Need Them I Just Need Waze

Who is Better to drive for? Uber or Lyft? I say it depends on what city you're driving in. Uber takes 20% of total fare and Lyft takes 30% of fare from drivers who signed up after 2011. I've had Lyft switch passengers on me in a middle of going to a pickup location which is unfair, and Lyft also adds extra rides to my Queue that I did not accept. In the end, I say that Uber has a better platform in terms of not switching passengers, and the app always asks me to commit to another ride rather than just automatically adding it like Lyft does.

i hated the Uber drivers always felt unwelcomed and rude But with Lyft Drivers it was always a good feeling and always nice but if i ever needed a ride again i would choose Lyft 👍🏽

my mom drives for lyft so i like lyft better

I don't use either one and have no desire (have NEVER had any kind of desire) to use one.

love this channel! keep it up!

what about Crazy Taxi?

Pin me

LYFT is the best because they don't advertise you don't have to tip drivers. In my city drivers need to educate riders about how to use and tip drivers. I'm doing my best to lead the education so drivers can enjoy a more healthy tip policy.

I like Lyft. They tend to be cheaper and easier to find. In the night time, Lyft usually has a led light on the dash so you are able to spot it out easier, unlike Uber.

Lyft is usually cheaper than Uber. BUT there is no way to phone Lyft.
