I'm confused... if I type in San Fran to Los Ang I get $608 for Lyft and over $1K for the other two. Why is Lyft so low (like half if not more) competition makes sense, but ~400 mile trip should be more then $600.

At this range, the estimate can be wildly inaccurate. For example, there may be a maximum distance imposed, say 60 miles at about $120 http://orangecountylyftcoupons.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/how-...
