>Lyft just can't beat Uber at PR.

I'd say Uber has far superior execution and product distribution, but worse PR/Perception.

Yes, I see your point. If Lyft wasn't the second most popular story today they would be better off.

I guess having a developer brain makes you think that being overshadowed by your competition is bad. In fact, the real problem is when you get zero press.

They have an order of magnitude less money.
