Uber hasn’t recovered its business in San Francisco and New York since #deleteUber

Uber has recovered from the impact of the #deleteUber campaign in certain cities better than others, new data shows.

Nationally, Uber’s market share declined as the first of two campaigns to boycott Uber took off and its competitor Lyft expanded into new cities across the U.S.

While Uber's share in many major U.S. markets has failed to recover from that campaign, its sales overall have picked back up, according to credit card analytics company Second Measure.

Detroit saw the biggest drop in market share immediately following the delete Uber campaign, dropping 17 percent from December to February. Portland followed with a 10 percent decrease in market share in that time.

But Uber’s sales have recovered in most of the cities in which it saw market share decline, with the notable exceptions of San Francisco and New York, where sales are down 5 percent and 7 percent respectively since December.

Importantly, the company only saw a 15 percent increase in sales in that time compared with Lyft, which saw a 33 percent uptick nationally.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
