Pricing for both ride-sharing services is $1 at the start of the ride, with a per-mile charge of $1.50 and a per-minute fee of 25 cents. Passengers should know that both Uber and Lyft drivers can trigger a "surge-time" price increase, when traffic is heavy and the demand for ride-sharing is high.Nov 27, 2018
Which is cheaper Lyft or Uber?
Uber adds surge pricing faster than Lyft, which helps drivers earn more at the cost of the rider. The apps have different costs per mile and minute, but usually, they balance to around the same price. Uber and Lyft pricing is a tie. They cost about the same as one another unless you are in a surge pricing period.Nov 19, 2021
