A comment on Why Some New York Drivers Prefer Lyft to Uber.

So let me get this straight.

- Lyft has social pressure to tip. Uber doesn't.

- Lyft doesn't aggressively penalize drivers who can't communicate with passengers. Uber does.

- Lyft has fewer riders / drivers, making the experience more personal. Uber is mechanical / efficient.

If I was a driver, I'd drive for Lyft. But as a rider, I'll take Uber.

I think the article was indicating that Uber penalizes drivers for communication problems even if it's the passenger's language barrier. Or should every cab driver be expected to be fluent in every language that a tourist to NYC might have as their first language?
