Did she tip?
LoL!

The article said she took a lot more Uber rides than Lyft.

But what does that mean? That she got a lot more complaints about Uber than Lyft when she asked drivers? Of course she did.

The part that always gets me with these stories is the tipping thing. They always make a big deal out of Lyft offering in-app tipping from the start.

But there are only three relevant facts today, in 2018: 1) both companies offer in-app tipping today, 2) neither Uber nor Lyft pax tip frequently enough to matter, and 3) driver revenue is based on ride payouts -- not tips.

So how busy it is on an app is much more important than whether or not the app offers seldom-used in-app tipping.
Thanks for the correction, Jim! To late to edit but really shoots my thought down. And agree with yours.

There are only two times that the Lyft DF might be effective.

1) You are parked at the North Pole and want to head south.
2) You are parked at the South Pole and want to head north.

I say might because Lyft would send you in the right direction to begin with, but after that you could obviously be sent anywhere.

The worst DF I have had from Lyft was when they diverted me 2 miles off the freeway to some dweeb who requested a multistop wait-and-return shopping trip to the local 7-Eleven. @@@ off.
i one time had a gryft DF set to take me north east and the filter took me 6 miles south west. obviously cancelled on the passenger when i saw where she was going. well done gryft!

Yep. The last one I got like that, I was headed due west on my way home. The pickup was only a block from my position, so I took it. But Lyft was trying to get me to head due east, on a Prime Time-free trip back into the epicentre of downwtown traffic gridlock. Nope. The pax was shouting and swearing at me for refusing his ride but there was nothing I could do except leave him curbside F'ing and blinding.

Every time I get asked if I like Lyft or Uber better, I reply by saying that is like asking me if I want a kidney stone in the left of the right kidney. Neither are really great options. But if I had to choose, Uber is 7-8 times busier, and has a higher class clientele on average.

I drove more than 5000+ miles each on both in about one month respectively. Actually, 8000+ miles on Uber. What I got is wrongfully accused of insulting their over protected service rep. by the security guard at green light hub. The experience at pink depot is not any better. I asked why my acct. was deactivated, the guy they made me to wait for said I've to file a claim to get it, then turned around, wrongfully accused me of threatening to file a claim against the Pink. Both are just childish play to senior citizen like us. Ignore them, I mean, ignore their ipo's.

Proof
Although the trachea area of the throat is somewhat suspect.
Still pretty.
By "trachea area" do you mean Adam's Apple?

Horseshit, It's mostly hay.
My Jack Russell eats horseshit when visiting the stables

Did I go off topic?
Horse shit isn't bad at all compared to dog shit, which stinks to high heaven. Horses are vegan, you know...

I agree. Definitely appears to have been born a dude. There's a lot out there in entertainment. Just do some youtube searches for "transvestigation" and keep an open mind.

Men and women have different skeletons and facial features that give it away if you were born a man or woman.

Yeah, anyone who believes Flat Earth are up there with:

  • Holocaust Deniers
  • Anti-Vaxxers
  • Chem-trail Believers
  • 9/11 "Inside Jobbers"
  • QAnon Believers
Some seriously damaged people out there. The Internet is shit because it gives these people with demented views equal voice to rational people who believe in the scientific method and identifiable proof.

Hear, hear! Same exact thing.

It's not surprising that most of these people do not have more than a high school education. The dumbing down of America, with all of its Anti-Intellectualism (I knew a co-worker in South where I sold insurance that was ostracized by his family for going to college in the city...) is a huge reason why we have the problems in America that we still do in 2019...
