A new report shows Lyft stole some of Uber's users

Uber has not had a good 2017. First they drew some hate for taking advantage of a taxi strike at an airport (they were protesting President Trump's travel ban) and then reports of company wide sexual harassment surfaced. All of this led to the "#DeleteUber" social media campaign, which ended benefitting Lyft, Uber's main competitor. A new report from 1010data shows the Lyft has actually received a three percent boost in users, stealing many of them directly from Uber. "This example demonstrates how much of an impact political stances can have on a brand. Lyft’s message resonated with customers and even attracted new ones."
