I've seen the difference, it's much more pronounced with women. I talk with drivers, a lot drive for women, they notice significantly more women on Lyft.

I've heard a combination of complaints about Uber leadership being dudebros and Uber drivers sexually assaulting riders as the reason why. I don't know if Lyft actually provides a safer ride, but they don't say shitty things in public and don't have as many well known incidents.

Lyft has a lower volume and penetration, which means it's making way less rides than Uber worldwide. That could be a reason. Plus the media finding out that being against Uber brings more clicks.
