I also use Lyft and Uber in Seattle, and I much prefer Lyft.

It's interesting, there are two totally different cultures when it comes to Lyft and Uber drivers. Lyft drivers are always happy to talk and love it when you sit in the front seat. Uber drivers are always pretty friendly but often encourage sitting in the back like a taxi. There are drivers that are both on Uber and Lyft and they are always great and seem to be more like a typical Lyft driver than an Uber driver.

Maybe I'm different (hey, it's possible), but I like UberX for the inverse reason. When I do one of the "ridesharing" things, I'm usually half awake, coming off of a shift at work, and I just want to go home or wherever else I'm going. I wish there was a socially acceptable way to say "I'm grumpy and don't want to talk, please just hush." Since Lyft has a reputation for being more open and friendly, I stick with Uber/UberX because they're usually quiet drivers.
