Lyft tends to pay better than Uber. Have asked drivers who drive for both in about 5-6 cities, all same answer. Lyft is the one you want to drive for.

You are completely misinformed. Most drivers do both. Get on reddit.com/r/lyft or reddit.com/r/uberdrivers and you will get a sense that post tipping + changes Uber has made, the scale has entirely tipped. Lyft has certainly done an excellent job building up the perception that they are better for drivers and convincing consumers of the same. In fact, this is on the front page of r/lyft today - https://www.reddit.com/r/Lyft/comments/7c234g/is_lyft_unethi...

I'm just reporting anecdotal evidence from drivers. The drivers I asked had signage for both on their cars, I did not deny that most drive for both.
Said survey was before Uber introduced tipping.

Are Lyft's incentive better than Uber? Or is that they are better because they are the underdogs? AFAIK many drivers service all ride share apps at any given time.
