I am a pretty loyal Uber user, and probably spend around $400 a month with them.
But... I was stuck out in the cold in the boonies of long island recently, and Uber kept bugging out and not finding rides since I was fairly rural. I downloaded Lyft for the first time and it found me a ride instantly. I'm going to have to use them more often.
In addition to the lease, you also have to add in the cost of insurance and fuel, and potentially parking (depending on where precisely in the region you live). Also, you almost always have to carry (expensive) full coverage for leased vehicles, further increasing the price.

Just my random anecdote.
