Thank goodness for options, which brings me to: Again, this tends to be at times when you most want/ need a ride. Probably due to the point listed above, there are frequently times when there are zero drivers available. During peak times (rush hour, late nights, etc), and often for no apparent goddamn reason at all, prices increase. I had one guy go on a complete bitch-fest about how much he hated driving for Lyft. Those that do, tend to try to sell the other service. Many Uber drivers have started also driving for Lyft. This really isn't a big deal at all, but thought it was worth mentioning.
