Lyft user here. I always ask the question "What do you like about Lyft compared to driving for Uber"? The answer is that Lyft takes better care of them with better pay incentives and less rigorous scheduling demands. If you want more of your money to go to the driver instead of a central command, use Lyft. I've never noticed a lack of drivers in most medium-to-large sized cities that I'm.

Could you clarify what you mean by "scheduling demands"? As I understand it, Uber is strictly work-when-you-want.

Not OP, but both Uber and Lyft tie bonuses to weekly/monthly acceptance rate and rides completed. I can't recall numbers, and they have been tricky to find on my phone. But I too can anecdotally confirm that Lyft drivers seem to enjoy it more in the Bay Area, and one of the reasons I've heard is that the bonus structure is a bit more liberal.

A Lyft driver told me the other day that it was something like a 30% bonus on whatever you had earned that week when you hit 80 rides in a calendar week.
