On the contrary, Uber drivers are pretty scrupulous about obeying the rules of the road. Jack-rabbit starts and stops, speeding, running caution lights, etc will get you flagged pretty quickly. They work hard to be as smooth and non-dramatic as possible. THAT is what you're noticing. We're pretty used to drivers gunning it through every intersection, driving 10mph over the limit, rolling stops and other things that are all technically illegal, but generally allowed. What stands out is somebody who doesn't do those things, who obeys speed limits, who stops on the yellow, who comes to a complete stop. They're actually driving better, or at least more within the strict laws, than the rest of us are. So they look like idiots.

They are very similar and I've used both.
In my area however there are more Uber drivers then Lyft so the wait is usually a bit less for Uber, but most of the time it does cost more.
And on-topic, the only real advantage ride-share's have over cabs around here is price ... big taxi co in area even has an app.
I prefer Lyft because they were the first to allow in app tipping. I always tip.
Like one driver told me you don't have to go broke tipping even a little helps! (No not cents lol)

ok you know how I know you arent paying attention to the conversation?
Not sure I follow. Just explaining why your average mega Corp needs 12k employees for. You asked, I answered. It's not like it's 1 ceo and 11,999 R&D engineers and programmers
