Blacks face longer wait times on Uber, Lyft than other races – and it's worse for taxis, study says
"Brown's study shows that black riders waited about a minute longer for Uber and Lyft than other races."
'Uber and Lyft drivers have the opportunity to cancel on rides for a range of reasons, although they are discouraged from doing so. '
'Black riders also waited 52 percent longer than whites for taxis. '
'In 7 percent of the trips taken by the students, Lyft drivers cancelled on black riders, compared with 5 percent of Asians/Hispanics and 3 percent of whites. '
'Uber drivers (who see only a name once the trip is accepted) canceled on black riders 6 percent of the time, Asians/Hispanics 3 percent and whites 2 percent. '
