3. Lyft
I’ve found Lyft to be the most similar to Uber, and it has a lot of promotional posters in the Subway stations. Lyft dispatches around 13,000 vehicles per day. The cost structure is different from Gett and Via, as it has a base fare of $2.50, which is the minimum amount a ride will cost. There is a $1.79 cost per mile and $0.35 cost per minute, as well as a $10 cancellation fee. There is surge pricing during busy times, but it’s often a little bit less than Uber.
Lyft takes roughly 25% commission from its drivers.
