For convenience, here's a link to the Uber help page for deleting your account: https://help.uber.com/h/24010fe7-7a67-4ee5-9938-c734000b144a (They even give you a nice box to explain why)

For convenience, here's a link to the Lyft help page for deleting your account: https://help.lyft.com/hc/en-us/articles/223281567-Delete-My-.... Unforunately, it's not possible to do yourself.

Both Lyft and Uber didn't suspend service to JFK last night because both are 24/7 platforms for anyone to drive and make money. Uber lowered/suspended surge pricing to make it affordable in/around the protests, while Lyft did not.

Worth noting is that active drivers on both platforms were likely protesting at airports all over the world.

could you post the account setup page please? i've never used lyft, i assume its basically the same service?

Doesn't operate in as many locations, but pretty much the same, and often the same drivers. Informally it appears drivers I've talked to have preferred Lyft (have asked even when they were driving for Uber). Most of course demur, but I've never heard a driver say something nice about Uber while I have had several praise Lyft.

Just to give you a counter point, I was in India recently, and most drivers I spoke to loved Uber. That could be a combination of the alternative sucking, general employer treatment of employees not being great, etc.

It's an inferior service: Much longer waits for a ride, higher fares, tipping, awkward interactions, fewer ride options, buggy (in my experience) phone apps.
