Juno has a substantially smaller driver pool. Whenever I get a ride, I always check all 3 and Juno is almost always much further out.

This is why I don't get why Uber tries to "undercut competitors". Even if they succeed, the second it stops bleeding money and raises prices competition will reappear. It's not like it is hard to install another app.

Interesting, in Brooklyn I don't have that experience at all. Uber probably has more drivers overall, but Juno is usually 3-4 mins away.
