> fairly distant second
Gross bookings approximately half that of Yandex and more cities than Yandex doesn't sound like a fairly distant second especially since Uber arrived well after Yandex. Uber was doing better against Yandex than Lyft is doing against Uber. Approximately a 40% stake in the new venture and 3 of the 7 board seats appears to be a testament to Uber's relative strength against Yandex.
