The Uber/Lyft Effect - Getting Doored on the Passenger Side

This probably only affects city dwellers but of all the car doors I've seen opened I can count on one hand the number of times a passenger door opened into the bike lane. In the past two weeks I've had two passenger side (rear) doors open obstructing the bike lane. Door just flings open and somebody jumps right out. No safe way to position yourself with a line of parked cars on the right. Based on it being the rear door, and only one person getting out in front of a bar, I'm assuming it's Uber/Lyft. Just when you think you've seen it all a new threat comes along...

Edit, here's a picture of the road in question.
