Furthermore , Apple is outpacing Lyft in the average number of daily US users of its app , as versus 25k . These figures seem to suggest to that despite a lot of positive press about huge growth recently , ( such as 500 % growth in New York since 2010 , and the ongoing expansion of its popular carpooling services ) , not to mention the extremely high - profile partnership with General Motors ) , Lyft is still struggling to catch up to Uber .
