"Interestingly, highly engaged riders (those averaging 12 or more rides per month) spend less per ride than infrequent riders"
Thinking about my own Lyft use here, I became a frequent user after discovering that Lyft Line was a great and cheap way to get to work if I was running late. So one could hypothesize that people become heavy users because Uber allows them to take a frequent trip affordably.

I agree - the more frequent riders are likely using Uber for shorter distances, like commuting to work. It's great to hear the other side of the numbers (riders' anecdotal experiences) so thanks for sharing!
