Lyft is only alive due to massive injections of VC money. This is a typical dotcom style business that will crumble this year when the stock market tanks and VC funding disappears.<p>The funny thing is that the entire taxi cab industry in the US was $11B in revenues. So to value Lyft at $5B with Uber having a massive amount of market share is defying simple math. There will be a lot of tears from Lyft.<p>And the drivers don&#x27;t care because they largely will be on both networks.  It will be largely a marketing problem but without their massive amounts of driver and customer incentives people will simply stop using Lyft.
