Lyft is better than Uber because it now allows you to add two destinations instead of one. For example, if you want to catch a Lyft to a pizza place and then come back home the lyft driver will wait for you while you get your food.
What has stopped changes to the medallion system up till now has been the political clout of the taxi lobby. A lot of this came down to money. They have a lot less of that now.
And, of course, if the taxi lobby was all that powerful, Uber, Lyft, Et Al would not be allowed to operate in NYC.
