Crazy to see a company bleed fiat for so long and still exist!! Plus all this only to be 2nd place behind uber.

But isn't the only reason they're second behind Uber because the latter decided that they needed to copy that model? I liked my pre-UberX black car service much better than all that gig worker crap. Now you land in a random city on a random continent and there's an 80% chance there is no proper service at all, only "comfort" - if you're lucky.
Uber may be #1, but that's because they are the commons now. Greed won from quality... unless one appreciates sitting in the back of a smelly Civic with a driver that can't shut up and expects a 30% tip for not abducting one for ransom.

I use Lyft Black which is cheaper than Waymo in Los Angeles
If Black is too expensive then I choose Lyft Extra Comfort
Lyft drivers are paid more than Uber

Spot on! Lyft's been the ultimate zombie startup, kept alive by endless VC blood transfusions and zero interest fairy dust. But hey, being Uber's eternal sidekick ain't bad if it means surviving the apocalypse of rising rates. Who needs first place when second pays the bills?
