Whether Lyft treats drivers better is very debatable. After 180 days of change campaign that Uber did many drivers believed Uber is better for them than Lyft. But Lyft also takes smaller cut of fare compared to Uber (Lyft also charges way less in my city so drivers get paid pretty much the same.) Both companies screw their drivers in one way or the other but Lyft does it with smiles and fist bumps. Source: I spend more time on uber/lyft drivers subreddits than i would like to admit.

Most drivers I have talked to use both and shift between them based on the number of rides they are getting.

I'm a Lyft devotee but 99% of drivers are signed up for every service available. In NYC that's Uber, Gett, Juno and probably a few more. So I don't think any service is differentiated by drivers.

I don’t like the new tipping functionality. Lyft is just pushing its obligation to pay its drivers fairly onto the customers.
