If both are in my area I usually go with Lyft because I have found it to be cheaper.
I prefer Uber, but just because I used them ever since they were available in my area and have stuck to them out of habit. I don't like the new UberX or whatever, because you start having issues with people not knowing where they are going but generally its cheaper than a taxi.
Personally, I'm not a fan of driving around in a car with a giant pink mustache on the front bumper, but maybe thats just me.
I agree with Big Shot. Not trying to ruin my image, bro.
Uber
Uber, also their office in SF is pretty amazing - gives off a Dr. Evil vibe, kinda cool. Also Uber is consistant, where as Lyft is all over the place.
Never tried Lyft. Uber in Jakarta was... okay.

Has anyone used Uber in Dubai?
I only use Uber because it's one less step I have to do. Lyft you still have to enter in what price you want to pay right? Honestly Id rather not worry about it
What? Not that I know of. I use Lyft mainly because I think Uber is run by a bunch of assholes.
On the pink moustache thing, it's becoming less and less common for Lyft drivers to be sticking those on their cars. I hate those as well.
Damn I thought I remembered you could choose how much you wanted to pay/tip but haven't used it in a long time "Once a ride is complete, passengers will be prompted to pay within the Lyft app.. After an especially delightful ride, you might feel inspired to tip your driver. "
You're not supposed to tip with Uber, right? Or have I been being an asshole?
Correct, the tip is automatically included at the end of your trip. No extra steps necessary.
Normally I am a huge uber fan, but last night after spending 11 minutes waiting for my uber to arrive guy cancelled the trip....
Screw that.
