I keep hearing about this huge war between Lyft and Uber, but I don't see anything evidenced in the price to the user. Now, maybe I'm just naive, but shouldn't this kind of competition drive the prices down?
Have you used uber pool or lyft's equivalent? I can take a 45 minute ride in LA for $5. I've only had someone else get in the car once out of at least 20 rides. They're definitely losing some money there.

Prices have been coming down. Just look at UberX prices in the established markets.
