The post the fare schedule for each city on their website. e.g. here is Lyft Boston $2.25 + $1.50 per mile and $.30 per minute. It's hard to say what a typical ride is. In my experience Lyft is always cheaper than a Boston cab. UberX is sometimes cheaper as long as surge pricing is not turned on.
In January 2015, the average Uber trip was $12.33, the average Lyft trip was $11.39. In May 2015, the average Uber trip was $13.36, the average Lyft trip was $12.53. Baltimore drivers had the highest average fare increases for UberX, at over $4, followed by Pittsburgh and Nashville at close to $3.
