View Full Version : Looks like UBER is the best way to go if you need a ride because they offer lots of
TVFactFan 03-01-2019, 10:50 PM promotions. LYFT on the otherhand don't offer sh*T:lol:
For example, Uber has a promotion that started this week offering me 30% off my next 10 rides. Plus they allow you to gain points after you complete each trip and you eventually receive rewards like Cash that can be used for Ubereats or your next ride.
Lyft on the otherhand never offers anything unless you refer a friend. Uber is the way to go. The hell with Lyft
OH Nuts! 03-02-2019, 12:53 AM I almost never take “taxis” ....so I’ve never had to use Uber or Lufthansa. But it’s nice to get the low-down on them(&great to see you back!)

Uber and Lyft are becoming really popular out here in LA within the last few years! I've never taken them , but I know people who do , well Uber, I see LYFT around though but I really don't know anyone who takes LYFT? So they must be in agreement with you that Uber is better!! :);):wave:

I been taking UBER a lot because I am out on Medical leave from work and since I don't have a train pass right now when I go to the doctor I use uber. The train pass is $100 a month so since I won't return to work until 4/1, it's makes sense to catch Uber. When I am working I may catch uber to the mall to go clothes shopping or to get dinner from somewhere
I been taking advantage of that 30% off rides all week lol
treky 03-02-2019, 02:11 AM I can't take Uber, LYFT or taxis because none of them are wheelchair accessible. :cuss::cuss::facepalm:

Actually Uber now has a option for people in Wheelchairs called WAV and used in Philly, Chicago, New York and DC. It started in 2019

thanx Sol, but I take Septa CCT which only costs $4.25 (for most places):)
And for other places it's just 1-2 dollars more. And I can take it for free if my brother goes with me.

well atleast you now know the option is there:wave:

true!:)
Actually though,they'd rather I take buses and trains and they say I can only take them if there's no curb cuts, uneven sidewalks etc. preventing me from getting to the bus or train. But I take them for free because I use a loophole that says if you go with someone else and say you're their attendant you can ride for free. (one of the drivers told me a lot of their customers do that).
Schmoopie 03-02-2019, 04:16 AM We actually had a great experience riding Lyft while on vacation. We were in California and were trying to find a ride home from the airport. I started to panic because the only ride we could find wasn't guaranteed and they were going to charge us over $100. At the time I'd never heard of Lyft and when we mentioned our dilemma to the front desk receptionist at the hotel, he graciously showed us how to download Lyft onto my husband's phone and how to order a ride. We took our car down the street to the car rental place and the guy picked us up and took us to the airport. Cost us $30. So amazing. Granted that was the only time we'd ever used it and I haven't had to use them since but that was a wonderful experience.

I had good experiences with Lyft too plus they are cheaper than Uber but they just never any kind of promotion like Uber. That 30% of 10 rides has really helped me this week with going to the doctor and supermarket which was a total cost of $50.00. If I had used Lyft the cost would have been over $100 easily.
Schmoopie 03-02-2019, 04:41 AM Wow that's crazy. We only tried them one time and had a good experience but if I needed to use them again I'd probably shop around to find the best deal. We were in kind of a bind.
I use Uber sometimes to go to and from work.
Steve_uk 03-02-2019, 06:54 AM I'm afraid you're all misinformed. The company is predicated solely on driving legitimately registered drivers with proper working conditions out of business. Until then it's a loss-making concern. It's already been banned in London. https://youtu.be/Z4QcwsEbKyo
80sTrivia 03-02-2019, 07:55 AM I've used both. Athough Lyft tends to be cheaper, it isn't available in many countries outside the US, so I end up using Uber when I'm travelling outside the country. Uber also has way more drivers than Lyft, so it's usually easier to get a ride if you are outside a major metropolitan region!

Yeah usually when I catch Uber I can get a ride in 3 to 5 mins
