The Rideshare Movement
Start of the Rivalry
The rideshare craze – at least, its current form – all started with the launch of Uber in 2009. The summer of 2012 brought about Uber’s main competitor in Lyft.
Finding a ride using either Lyft or Uber is incredibly easy, even for those not as technologically capable as others.
Become a Driver
As a driver in the ridesharing industry, there are different ways you can make a living.
Whether you want to put the pedal to the metal and drive full-time or just pick up a few rides here and there for supplemental income, Lyft drivers have excellent opportunities.

Your first ride from Lyft and Uber can be free! Just use an appropriate promo code to cash in the savings.
Promotions and coupons are available for Uber promo codes for existing users as well as Lyft promo codes for existing users.

You can feel safer when requesting a ride through a ride app than when traditionally calling a cab. These rideshare apps provide a convenient way to request a ride with fast pickup times and cashless payments.
Lyft app – for both passengers as well as drivers – has undergone some redesigns and improvements over the last couple of years and is quite user-friendly. You can compare price points and arrival times for various ride options, check all of your driver’s info, and easily redeem free ride credit with just a few taps.
Many people who drive for Lyft say they are happier driving for them than the competition.
Uber takes pride in having a more professional, less casual company culture. They did, after all, begin as a black car service only, and evolved into a rideshare service with multiple options.
