There are no definitive recent statistics about Lyft’s market share in Chicago, but we can get an idea by analyzing Uber’s market share. Uber controls two-thirds to three-quarters of the Chicago rideshare market. Lyft is the second-largest rideshare company, with most of the remaining market share that Uber does not have. As such, Lyft controls somewhere between 25 to 33 percent of the Chicago market.
Lyft has been growing its market share in recent years. It has cut commissions to attract drivers and offered incentives to win customers.
