Is it better to use Lyft or Uber in San Francisco?

No preference-- I tend to use Uber from SFO since it's often cheaper, and then Lyft within the city. Both tend to have similar wait times of 5 min or less. We found Lyft more reliable than Uber for getting around town on our last trip a couple of years ago. We (2) often used shared rides which made it even cheaper.
