We're a better boyfriend: US startup Lyft on Uber comparison
US-based taxi-hailing startup Lyft President John Zimmer on being compared with Uber said, "We're not the nice guys...We're a better boyfriend." He added, "We're woke, our community is woke, and the US population is woke." However, Zimmer was slammed for using the activist term "woke" as Lyft is backed by billionaire Peter Thiel who once called date rape "belated regret."
