Not been my experience. I doubt if any of the Eugene drivers would make the cut to drive for Uber or Lyft. And if they did they would not be driving for them long. I have dealt with every taxi company in Eugene. Long waits, unanswered calls by the dispatchers, seen residents treated terribly by the drivers. They do not get out to help them or help with their luggage.When out driving cut off by the drivers, etc.
On the other hand myself and friends have used Lyft in Portland and many other cities, have never ever had a bad experience. I have friends in larger cities who do not even own vehicles have always depended on taxis, they are so relieved to give up taxis in favor of Lyft and Uber. So get with it bye bye to deplorable taxis, taxi companies and drivers, they brought it on themselves.
