I don't know if this is the same in every cities, but here in Seattle using Uber is becoming very annoying: in the past rides we tried getting in the past few weeks, the original wait time shows something like 2 or 3 minutes, but as soon as the ride is found it jumps to 7-8 minutes. And that stays blocked on this time for a couple minutes (or sometimes increase!). In the meantime, for Lyft rides it seems to be the opposite, usually we have to wait less than a minute for rides from the same place. This didn't use to be the case, I'm wondering if the majority of drivers have now switched to Lyft .

I have exactly opposite experience in Seattle.

Almost always Lyft's estimated time of arrival is way off the charts.
