I see this comment everytime a post about ride hailing services pops up... but I can't figure out how it's relevant to this discussion this time.

The only word you mentioned that was relevant was safe... So are you suggesting that because they're fighting over costs with lyft, they pay drivers less which reduces reputable drivers and "poorer and more likely to rape" drivers join the app?

Yes, or more accurately less desirable drivers. My recent rides on Lyft and Uber have not been good. Either the cars were clapped out or the drivers were telling me how they could not make a living and were looking for other work.
