Uber vs. Lyft: Which is cheaper in every State and City
Nobody likes to think too hard about Uber and Lyft. But a moment of extra thought might just save you a few bucks.
They’re the guilty pleasures — luxuries, in some cases — that we indulge in to make life easier. ‘Transport Network Companies’ (TNCs) take the awkwardness and, in theory, uncertainty out of hailing a ride. Using a rideshare app lets you see in an instant how long you’ll wait, how much it costs (go green for a few extra cents!) and even where your driver’s at.
But sometimes there can be inconveniences. The wait time is long. The price is way over what you expected. Sure, you can switch from the Uber app to Lyft or vice versa, but meanwhile, you’ve wasted precious screen time.
To help you figure out which app to start with, personal finance experts at CashNetUSA have tested the services in 150 big cities across the States and can reveal which service is generally cheaper in these cities and every state.
