it's the holiday season that means it's
[1]
also party season love that of course
[3]
you should never drink and drive which
[5]
is why ride-sharing services like uber
[7]
and lyft are so popular especially now
[10]
many of us rely on them to get around
[12]
and I always wonder you probably do too
[13]
which one is better cheaper thing is to
[16]
figure that out
[17]
you'd have to order both the same time
[19]
from the same place go to the same place
[21]
and who really has time for that we do
[23]
let's find out with a little experiment
[25]
wherever you look you see the Bluebirds
[28]
lifts and this year more than 60 million
[31]
people will use a ride-sharing app but
[34]
which one is cheaper and gets to you
[36]
faster to find out I'm taking rides
[39]
across the country and I've enlisted the
[42]
help of my trusty producer Connor here
[43]
from the team all right it's good to see
[44]
you I'm gonna be using uber exclusively
[47]
ordering uber exes we're gonna go to
[50]
three different cities and take two
[52]
rides per city so we can compare exactly
[54]
and I'll be using lyft and only taking
[57]
the lift economy line which is pretty
[59]
much the same as uber app so we're
[61]
interested and curious which car comes
[63]
first but we're gonna go from the same
[64]
location to the same location hit the
[67]
button at the same exact time to order
[68]
it so which car comes first but most
[70]
importantly what the price difference is
[72]
first off New Orleans we both order our
[75]
rides at the same time in just two
[78]
minutes
[78]
Connors is here first Connor is getting
[80]
into his lift but I'm right behind him
[82]
all right uber showed up once inside
[85]
welcome to the wall I get beats yes oh
[88]
my god I love the super but when I
[89]
arrive all right results time by uber
[92]
cost $16 94 cents and my lift costs
[98]
$14.97 so almost two dollars cheaper
[100]
than your uber that's right lyft is
[102]
cheaper now for our next ride
[105]
all right order at the same time three
[106]
two one Porter
[109]
when my uber arrives goobers here I
[112]
tell you to confirm the license plates
[114]
where I confirm the plate yes this is my
[117]
uber who you here for
[119]
mr. Jeff that's me yep that's me
[123]
soon Connors on his way to and the price
[127]
my uber cost 1534 but his lift only
[131]
costs 1215
[132]
yep lyft was cheaper for both rides in
[135]
New Orleans next stop New York City we
[139]
take all rides lyft is cheaper both
[143]
times here too but there's a problem on
[146]
one of the rides Connor had to wait more
[148]
than 17 minutes for his lift but just
[152]
watch what happens in California a twist
[155]
this time uber is cheaper but the very
[158]
next trip three-two-one
[161]
order back to the pattern lyft is
[163]
cheaper again this time by double digits
[166]
our nationwide results lyft coming in
[169]
Cheaper for five out of six rides saving
[173]
Connor $20 in eighteen cents to go to
[176]
the same places as four who showed up
[178]
first a Thai Bluebird three times and
[181]
live three times
[182]
uber telling NBC News they strive to be
[186]
the most consistent and reliable and
[188]
they are constantly working to deliver
[189]
an even better more reliable experience
[192]
for riders lyft saying we're thrilled to
[195]
provide affordable and reliable rise
[197]
happy riding on your next trip the six
[202]
rides we took both for uber and lyft
[204]
were regular fares no discounts applied
[206]
to any of them but here are a couple of
[208]
money-saving tips cool stuff that uber
[210]
and lyft both do they offer discounts
[212]
sometimes to riders so you want to keep
[214]
an eye on your account you may be
[215]
eligible and this is really cool both
[217]
uber and lyft have just announced
[219]
rewards programs for all riders just
[222]
like the airline's that'll be rolling
[224]
out across the country in the coming
[226]
months
