Can this app store download bump be judged independently of the fact that Lyft just expanded to a bunch of cities[1]? Lyft being available in all these cities would obviously give it a large bump.

Not sure why techcrunch doesn't mention that this may have NOTHING to do with the #deleteuber campaign.

They should have mentioned it, but the graph of ranking over time seems to support a bump over the weekend more than a bump from the middle of the week.
