I disagree. If Lyft goes too deep into a specific market, then they risk Uber using their dominance in another market to push them out of this one. They need to compete on all fronts to keep Uber away from their cash cow.

Can you please explain that? How can Uber's strength in other regions impact performance in a specific one?

Consumers in the app-hire/ride-share market aren't stuck to one market; Someone who uses Lyft-Line may also use UberX. If Uber release "Uber-Line", and Lyft doesn't have a comparable "LyftX", then there's no reason to use Lyft anymore. Everything you need is in Uber.
