Original caption

Everyone kept telling me to try Uber during the World Cup rush, so I did. 🚗 After testing both apps, I realized Lyft still works better for my market, my strategy, and the type of rides I like to take. Sometimes the best app isn’t the one everyone talks about it’s the one that actually puts more money in YOUR pocket. Would you choose Uber or Lyft where you live? #UberDriver #LyftDriver #RideshareLife #GigEconomy #AtlantaDriver
