Lyft is catching up to Uber, and young people are driving the trend. Uber still dominates the ride-sharing market numbers-wise, but according to SimilarWeb, Lyft now claimed 40% market share last month. They also report that 78% of Lyft downloads from GooglePlay in the past six months were by people under-34-years-old, compared to Uber’s 66%. Controversy surrounding Uber (#DeleteUber) could have spurred young people to download Lyft, and their ride-sharing pick is “an important indication of future growth.” (Recode)
