Uber almost killed Lyft. Had it not been for the 2017 #DeleteUber campaign that started in 2017, Lyft might have ran out of money or forced to concede more US markets.

It was Uber trying to steal from Waymo that saved Lyft.

Google gave Lyft $1.5 billion in "fuck Uber" money months after filing suit against Uber.

Crazy how if the executives of Uber hadn't been blatantly evil as fuck, Lyft might not exist today.

My partner and I still exclusively use Lyft just because we don't like the ethics of Uber

I exclusively use Lyft ever since I asked an Uber driver if he also drove for Lyft and he casually mentioned that he couldn’t pass their background check...
