From what I can tell, lyft doesn't do the same good as Uber. Uber does battle with corrupt politicians, exposes them to the public and opens cities up to competition. Then Lyft free-rides on this, follows them in and makes money.

When is the last time Lyft prevented someone like DeBlasio from helping the taxi cartel rip off consumers?

At the end of the day, Travis is a war-time CEO who is always going to be fighting things that keep his company from being as successful as it can be. This may sound good, but people like this are why we have laws. They need regulation. Look back 150 years if you doubt that.
