Other ride-hailing companies can implement Uber's pricing strategy by adopting a similar approach to pricing per mile and surge pricing. They can charge passengers more per mile, as Uber does, to increase their operating earnings. Additionally, they can implement dynamic and surge pricing during high-demand hours to adjust prices based on demand. However, they should also consider the impact on driver wages and customer satisfaction, as these factors can significantly affect their business.

So who's better, Uber or Lyft? Overall, drivers on Lyft report higher wages than drivers on Uber. That's because, on average, Uber takes a more significant cut of each ride. Lyft's hourly average is $17.50, whereas Uber's is $15.68. In terms of speed of service, Uber has significantly higher operating earnings than Lyft, and that's due in large part to this pricing strategy. In the US, Uber charges passengers more per mile than Lyft. According to research, Lyft charges 10% less on a per-mile basis. Lyft also has lower minimum fares. But both companies utilize dynamic and surge pricing during high-demand hours, so prices can always swing wildly. Uber does charge surge prices faster than Lyft.
