NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Uber is using a pattern of aggressive and questionable tactics in its effort to control the car-on-demand market, according to rivals.
New data provided by Lyft, a competitor, shows that Uber employees have ordered and canceled more than 5,000 Lyft rides since last October. The data was provided to CNNMoney per a request made when reporting another story on the competition between the two companies.
It's the taxi app version of ding-dong ditch.
And it's not just a rogue employee or two: Lyft claims 177 Uber employees around the country have booked and canceled rides in that time frame.
