re: Lyft vs Uber

Used Uber 2-3 times a day while at Disney World this past week. Can’t say enough good things about the service. Wait times for a ride averaged about 5 minutes and all drivers were friendly with clean cars. Cost was about $7 a trip, with the ride to the airport being $30 (taxi charged me $70...so frick them). Spent about $125 for the week and never had to wait for a ride to and from places. Was well worth the expense.

I’d never used Uber before, but I will now. Some of the drivers explained to me how it worked and it’s defijitely hard to make a living driving for them. Uber takes $3.80 immediately off the top, and then another 25% while the driver gets 75% plus tips.

They also all drove for Lyft as well. Said Lyft was a little cheaper than Uber, but it’s the same basically for the drivers.
