After Uber's stumble, is it Lyft and Sidecar's time to shine?

Parks Associates analyst Tejas Mehta agrees the bad press won't change much unless Lyft and Sidecar add more investors and find a new way to stand out.

"Lyft has been competing with Uber on pricing, which is not sustainable in the long run," Mehta said. "Uber's recent troubles may not dramatically tilt the balance, but if Lyft can gain some market share as a result, it may just be the opening that levels the playing field a little."
