Who cares, the man has something to say that obviously he cares enough to post about, why belittle him for posting? That type of attitude drives away new users from the community. Clearly he's not a spam bot or corporate shill, which is what we want to discourage.

I think he's right too. Uber gets all the press up here in Canada, but Lyft is very similar but has some key features that are appealing

- Their "surge" like pricing tops out at 3x.
- Drivers keep more

I think Lyft would do well here, especially if the enter the market amidst the "rage" against Uber's surge "gouging". While I don't agree with the outrage, good time to strike while the iron's hot. Too bad they're still not in Canada. Although the $500M deal with Ford gives them a lot of credibility in layman's eyes.
