Lyft Partners with Waze

Well, if they do a better job than Uber has been doing with whatever the heck Uber has been doing with route finding - this will be good for Lyft.

I have had to write in and complain MANY times about the routes that the Uber app takes drivers.

I now pretty much tell every Uber driver to ignore the app and I tell them where to go. Generally they are fine with it - but I am convinced that the Uber app is literally pulling the digital version of what taxis used to do to scrape out just a little more money from riders.

I also have noticed that Uber drivers are taking the "drive super slow when you have a rider" tactic - this results in them hitting more red lights or overly waiting for other drivers even when they have the right-of-way or a clear path.
