LYFT caps their PRIME TIME PRICING
- LYFT caps their PRIME TIME pricing at 400%(equivalent to 5x UberX), while Uber’s surge
pricing may end up to be 8-9x
- Uber Surge Pricing + Commision VS. Lyft Prime Time Tips
- Surge pricing and Prime Time are highest during: 7-9 am & 6-8 pm.
HOW WE CAN UTILIZE THIS UPPER HAND?
80%
20%
- 80% of drivers commute alone to and from work which corresponds to
peak hours where Prime Time and Surge Pricing is highest.
- Target these drivers to become Lyft drivers on their way to work and back
- Lowers prime time tips, less detours, easy profitability (up to $400/month
for 1 rider).

CONCLUSION
 Lyft Line and UberPool pick up
multiple riders in
the same trip and drop them of
en route to their final
destinations.
 By carpooling, riders share
the cost of the ride leading to
cheaper fare.
 This results in higher profits for
drivers and lower costs for
riders.
WHAT IS LYFT LINE AND UBERPOOL?
PHASE II: ADDRESSING THE POTENTIAL
LYFT LINE
IS ON THE RISE
- Lyft Line was released August 2014
- In the span of 6 months, Lyft Line accounts for the

Lyft offers a more welcoming and

Uber focuses on professionalism

Joe, our jovial driver, helped break the ice by
declaring his ride the “party bus”. Making sure
everyone stayed in good spirits was important given
three strangers were shoulder-to-shoulder on the
back seat.

LYFT’S CULTURE IS CONDUCIVE TO
CARPOOLING
Even though Lyft and Uber have been branded as ridesharing
companies for a long time, it has only been now the two companies
have competing carpooling services. Overall, Lyft Line is the clear
winner with its friendlier and upfront pricing
