    Here are the biggest differences between Uber and Lyft

    The battle between Uber and Lyft is nothing new – the two platforms are natural rivals, fighting to get one step ahead and get customers to ride with their service. There are a few key ways in which the two services differ, so be advised before you call your next ride.

    On their face, Uber and Lyft are not so different. Open up either app, plug in your address, and you can be in a car and en route to your destination in just a few minutes. When choosing your destination, both apps give you options to save your home and work addresses for easy access. However, Uber lets you have additional “saved places.”

    When checked the prices for this quick cross-borough ride, Uber was less expensive by a few dollars for both the shared-ride and standard ride options. But when tried during rush hour on a weekday, Lyft was slightly less expensive than Uber around $4 US dollars — even before the promotion applied.

    Both apps implement surge pricing during peak hours that jack up costs for rides. Uber and Lyft both offer additional, pricier options for getting to your destination. Only Uber has the option to order wheelchair-accessible rides. Taking a trip with either service is pretty similar - let you see the route you’re taking and the estimated time you’ll arrive at your destination. Only Uber lets you split the ride fare with friends in-app, since Lyft removed the option this past October. While both apps allow you to share your location with family and friends, Uber also has options in the app to call 911 and share your location and trip details with authorities, should the worst occur.

    After a trip has ended, both Uber and Lyft allow you to review your trip, where you can get the price breakdown or add a tip for your driver. Both apps have formal processes for getting back lost items, which includes paying a $US15 delivery fee to have your item returned to you. Uber recently implemented a rewards program similar to that of Starbucks: Every time you ride, you earn points, which can be used for credit towards yet more rides. 

    A blog has been fined $29,000 for saying a Chinese building has bad feng shui

    A media company will pay nearly AUD$42,000 (US$29,000/ 200,000 renminbi) after hosting an article suggesting three buildings in Beijing would bring misfortune to their residents as they violated feng shui. In a blog post published in November on a website operated by Zhuhai Shen stick Network Technology, the author claimed the three buildings developed by Wangjing Search Company resembled pigs kidneys and were “a bad feng shui layout”. 

    The long blog article claimed businesses in the Wangjing Soho buildings were suffering due to the negative energy and bad winds at the building. The developer argued the post had a harmful impact on its business and reputation. “We cannot accept the use of feudal superstition to slander this building,” Pan Shiyi wrote on Thursday on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform.

    The judgement said the article had used “insulting vocabulary” about Wangjing Search Company’s buildings and “carried out ‘one-sided analysis and arbitrary conclusions’.” The Wangjing Soho project generates more than $US66 million ($92.07 million) in rent each year.
