Coverage Areas
Uber and Lyft are aggressively expanding and fighting to gain market share. Since Uber has more investors and more cash, it’s expanded throughout to more cities and regions in the US. Uber has also gained traction not only in the US, but also internationally. Uber is in 58 countries and 300 cities worldwide. Lyft is only available in roughly 65-70 cities in the United States.
There are more drivers, more riders, and it’s in more cities than Lyft. Uber is clearly larger than Lyft, and it shows. Riders can expect to get quick, reliable rides from Uber pretty much anywhere they go. Lyft has a large foothold in most US cities, but when traveling abroad or in rural or suburban areas in the US, riders can just assume they’ll be taking an Uber.
