Lyft's fare is predictable, and rises little even at peak hours. The fares are mostly in the same ballpark as Uber's.
Lyft's Android app just works, and is reasonably usable. I've been burned by Uber's app crashing after an update.
I keep using Lyft over Uber; most drivers I see in my area (NYC and Brooklyn) have both apps installed. But many seem to have the Lyft-specific sign under the windhshield, but rarely an explicit Uber sign.
As a corporation, Lyft seems to be much less showy, and does not seem to be losing gargantuan sums on pie-in-the-sky projects. They project a nicer, if understated, image; this is also somehow attractive, and likely says something about the way the company is run.
