According to recent delve into with the intention of draws on recognition and take out license transactions by 3.8 million Americans, Uber’s revenue was with reference to 12 time with the intention of of its rival involving may well 2013 and may well 2014. Across the U.S., it provided extra than seven time the add up to of car rides, the testimony indicates, and it charged much senior toll in place of its service: $21 for every push on mean, compared to Lyft’s $13.
Headquartered not far from both other all the rage San Francisco, the two startups provide all but identical services with the intention of seek to loose change the way individuals become from place to place. Both lets you hail a car—and salary in place of the ride—via a smartphone app. With the intention of way the two are fighting in place of drivers to the same extent well to the same extent riders, and to the same extent they tussle all the rage key American cities, they’ve clashed all the rage on occasion spectacular ways, with Lyft accusing Uber of using scheming tactics to snatch its drivers and news stories indicating with the intention of these were far extra than recently accusations.
But judging from money all the rage these two companies—Uber is valued by the side of with reference to $17 billion, Lyft by the side of $700 million—it seemed with the intention of Uber was running the extra doing well question, and this recent study provides a window into recently how giant the gap has be converted into.
The study arrives from FutureAdvisor, a San Francisco furnish with the intention of offers software in place of automating the management of your run of the mill portfolio. But all the rage this job, the company is exploring two companies on the verge of going away communal, using data from an unnamed furnish with the intention of pools in sequence from key American banks.
James McQuivey, an analyst with the Massachusetts-based delve into corporation Forrester, is hardly surprised with the intention of the study shows Uber publicized all the rage front of Lyft. Taking into account all, he points publicized, Uber’s ride-hailing undertaking had a hefty lead start (Uber was founded all the rage 2009, while Lyft, all the rage its current incarnation, launched all the rage 2012). But he says the size of the revenue gap, to the same extent indicated by the recent study, may possibly help extravaganza why Lyft is so intent on waging a war with Uber all the rage the media. “Lyft is demanding to join together itself with Uber,” he says, “trying to thump beyond its heaviness.”
The FutureAdvisor study furthermore indicates with the intention of Uber is acquiring recent riders by the side of a much nearer clip than its rival, toting up involving 6,200 and 7,300 for every month through 2014, compared to involving 1,100 and 1,500 added by Lyft.

With the intention of thought, to the same extent they’ve put on across various U.S. Markets, Stallings says, the relation growth of both companies has slowed. All the rage June of final time, both was growing by the side of a rate of 25 percent for every month. With the intention of may possibly indicate why the companies are at this point fighting so intensely larger than both other’s drivers—and why Uber is so intent on expanding overseas.
A little reports arrange indicated with the intention of Lyft is looking to be located acquired by Uber. But recently this week, Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick thought his company has thumbs down fascination all the rage such a move. “We’re not all the rage acquisition mode,” he thought.
