Lyft has apparently engaged in the exact same competitive tactics. It's allegedly how they got the majority of their supply in NYC. Lyft has also apparently done twice as many cancellations of Uber requests as uber did from Lyft. Uber seems competitive, but I'm not buying that they're anti-competitive, or that Lyft is better. If anything Lyft is worse for crying about "unfair" tactics while engaging in those same tactics. At least Uber owns the fact that they're aggressively recruiting new drivers (something that's good for all the drivers regardless of their company).
