It isn't like Lyft cancels very often - just "more likely" to do so than Uber. And sometimes it is cheaper
- Last night I didn't even compare, as the Lyft fare I first saw was typical for the route and a car arrived within a few minutes, which was good, as I needed to get away from the "anarchy of Oakland" back to the peace and sanity of Berkeley
And now my $10 credit has been used for the month.
