You can keep the "ride is here" notifications in Lyft but turn the ads off by going to:

Menu > Settings > Privacy > Notifications Preferences > Discounts and News : Off

For Uber, it's similar: Menu > Settings > Privacy > Notifications > Discounts and News > Off

A built-in/centralized way in iOS to accomplish this (that's more discoverable) would be much better.

That would rely on the senders tagging the pushes correctly, as "ad" vs. "not-ad", which would ultimately fall back to App Store review enforcement anyways.
