Lyft is very focused on winning the US market before doing aggressive international expansion.



It appears they are also willing to follow the law.


What do you mean by following the law in this case? And how would they be different from Uber in this regards? Uber has recently worked closely with regulators in both London and Brazil to create regulation where little existed before.


What regulation have they created in London? AFAIK, Uber London Ltd has always just operated as a private hire firm; the only notable things with regards to regulations was what ended up with the court case as to whether their use of GPS distance-tracking was considered a taximeter.


In Brazil it’s passed regulation while in London it’s currently a WIP according to press.

You did not answer my question though. How is Lyft any different in this regard? Quite to the contrary Uber is as far as I know breaking ground in this regard in Brazil and London with possible replication of these efforts elsewhere.
