Anecdotally, I've personally taken Lyft almost exclusively lately. Among my peers, I've noticed similar trends. I've even heard shifting in language -- rather than say "call an Uber", I've heard "call a Lyft"., Plural of anecdote is obviously not data, but those are my data points.

This conversation was had in a thread a week or two ago. The consensus was that the Lyft or other alternative anecdotes are far and few between. Like saying call a Lyft has to be rare and probably just in certain small circle. Most people are on Uber.

We've made the shift in NYC to Lyft or JUNO.

Not even sure if I installed Uber last month when I got a new iPhone.

Same. Juno in NYC, RideAustin in Austin, and Lyft everywhere else if there's not another local(ish) tnc

My data points are that I've been taking Uber exclusively, because Lyft can't seem to figure out how to operate outside of the US. :-)
