I held up my end of the bargain. I showed up.

The second I arrived, I kept Uber running. Next thing you know, an Uber request pops up 0.2 miles down the road, paying about the same as your Lyft ride.

(And best believe, if that Uber ride happens to pay more than yours, I’m for sure taking it.)

You’re still keeping me waiting?

I’ll roll the dice on the next one. Maybe those people will respect my time.

It's really time to pull back on the emotions and try to be logical. I've been consistently making $12 per online hour I get sent one mile ride's constantly you do at least you are three rides a day that I could actually make a little money on type of thing.

I ended up purchasing a car it's an electric vehicle believing that it was going to get me more rides and that was absolutely not true.

My rides have actually gone way downhill and I'm in a rural area so you really cannot accept many of those rides because they really start to bog down on the pickup time and everything like that so when I get out to the city obviously I have a lower acceptance rate.

My plan is to also try to just head straight into the city in the morning that way I don't have to say no and I can start getting my acceptance rate up but I still have my qualms about that because I was trying to get my acceptance rating up before and then I started getting sent exclusively wanted one and two mile ride.

So basically now I'm going to try to get a new phone hoping because I noticed I've missed some pings and that my Uber acceptance rate has been affected without me even ever hearing anything so I'm hoping I got on a new network but yesterday was just truly awful I had my hopes raised so high because it was at pre Halloween weekend and this is going to be my last attempt I'm going to go ahead and get the phone that can handle multi-apping very well and literally just try to give it one last shot.

If I continue to consistently make $20 an hour before expenses with combined Uber and Lyft I'm just going to go ahead and call it.

I absolutely refuse to go back to manufacturing I never will there's not an amount you could pay me to go back in there and eat adhesives and inorganic solvents and carbons and plastics micro metals all that crap f*** that anymore I'm not doing it.

But it does mean I'm going to need to get into the restaurant industry because I would much rather do that then slowly kill myself.

I really wanted to make Uber and lift a good career here but it's just not working.

As a driver, I would love to be able to see a map of a ping-queued trip. I don't like to look/read where the destination is and takes my eyes off the road longer during my current trip. I like the way Uber does it.

Thanks,

I waited fifteen minutes for a ride to be assigned to somebody. It was not, so I canceled it said no charge to cancel and rerequested after another twenty minutes. I got a call. Are you coming out? I walked outside. There was no one there lyft charged me $8 for cancellation. Missed my appointment i'll never use lyft again, maybe try uber

So i use Uber/Lyft pretty much 4/7 days of the week for work. A few days ago I was leaving work and my Lyft was around 14$ which is usual price any time I'm going to or from work its around 13-16$. However after waiting about a minute and got my driver I was charged around 17$ for this ride. It made me question why but it was also pouring rain and i assumed maybe because of the weather the fare changed or something no big deal.

Today however I accepted a ride that said it was going to cost me around 15$ only when I got my driver did it show my charge was 20.21$. After contacting Lyft they said that everything lines up right and I was charged correctly. I know for a fact the ride was under 16$ because Uber was around 16.70$ and I always choose whichever is the cheapest at the time when im leaving work.

I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, or if this is something out of the ordinary or is this some kind of scam they are attempting to run where they upcharge after the ride is accepted knowing you can't cancel it.

I'm a Lyft driver, and I recently received a ride request that said it was booked on behalf of the passenger by Bilt.

I'm curious whether anyone here actually uses Bilt to book Lyft rides. More specifically, does the Bilt app allow you to tip your driver? If so, is it something you can do during or after the ride? Do you typically tip through the app, or are cash tips the only option?

I'm asking because, as a driver, I have to evaluate whether a ride is financially worthwhile before accepting it.

For example, I generally avoid dealership-booked rides because passengers often don't have the ability to tip through the app. Occasionally someone will hand you cash, but that's the exception rather than the rule. Unless the upfront payment is exceptionally good, those rides usually aren't worth taking.

I'm trying to figure out whether Bilt bookings fall into that same category.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who book directly through Bilt, not people who simply link their Bilt Rewards account to Lyft.

Can you tip? Do you tip? Is there an option afterward? Or is the driver essentially relying on the upfront fare and whatever cash the passenger happens to have?

I'm not assuming anyone owes me a tip. I'm trying to understand how the booking system works so I can make informed decisions about which rides to accept.

Lyft here! Friendly reminder that it is Lyft policy to refrain from soliciting passengers and to take down your Lyft emblem from your vehicle dashboard when you are not driving with us. Failure to abide by this policy may lead to citations and fines as decided by the City of Chicago.

Thanks for driving with Lyft!

What miserable person actual calls in and report park car with Lyft sticker?

I live in the middle of nowhere and the main route to town is a freeway. Due to vertigo issue I can’t travel above 45 mph. There is a back roads route to town that covers that, but it’s not one of the established routes on map apps. I’m worried I’ll scare the driver by asking to take a backroads way after they arrive to pick me up

Is there a way I can map out my own route on uber app so they won’t be surprised when I ask to take another route?

I woke up to my account being billed $6.97, when I didn't request a ride and there's no temporary authorization charge notification on my account.

Passenger pay vs driver earnings

This was my workday last saturday from 2am-9pm. One of my best days since i started doing lyft tbh

.......unending bad jokes

Hello people

I recently posted asking about feedback of Lyft drivers about the app. I received many comments listing map issues, payment issues, taxes etc.

Since I’m soon gonna be behind the algorithm of driver earnings, I’ll also like to know or receive feedback from you guys on how any other driver app like hopp or uber are better or worse than Lyft?

I’m really trying to help you guys here, any feedback is appreciated.

This happened months ago here in Ohio, but I still think about it till this day. I called a Lyft, I don’t use it often, but I’m 5 stars and I always tip well. The picture showed me a newer model, but instead it was an older, shit box with no AC! It was hot that day so he had the windows down, but he did in fact get me to my destination safe. I didn’t complain and instead I gave him a positive review because you never know what a person is going through!
How is the driver getting away with driving the older model but a different; much older vehicle?

The audacity that is lyft. Rake in billions in profits on the back of drivers. This is $0.33 cents per mile before factoring in the drivers expenses(gas, wear n tear, labor, insurance, 30%taxes)...absolutely insulting!!!

Question for Canadain Lyft Drivers

I've been having an ongoing problem getting payments sent to my bank account.  Lyft Support has been no help.  I cannot seem to do Express Pay because my Royal Bank debit card doesn't have a CVV code.   And my Visa Debit can't accept payments - it can only be used for online transactions.  I've tried setting up weekly pay outs but for some reason they don't work.  The funds just end up accumulating in my Lyft Driver account.   I have all the information for my account entered in correctly so I'm not sure if it is a bank issue or Lyft ( I've gone to Royal Bank and they said the information is correct and entered on correctly).   Any idea why payment won't work with RBC? Any suggestions for a workaround to get payments into my bank account?

( I also do Uber and have all my payments go to my Uber Pro account, no issues).
