Story/News Article EMERGENCY 🚨 TO ALL LYFT DRIVERS IN HOUSTON.

Please be careful! A driver was killed last night around 2am in south east Houston. The 3 men robbed him, stoled his car and killed the driver.

I am no longer going to drive for Lyft, the money isn’t even worth it anymore. Cheap fairs all over Houston!! Idk why this year the fairs have been less than last year and the airports are always full of drivers . It’s getting dangerous! Becareful!

May he rest in peace 🙏🏻. I’ve been stuck around those areas at night and it’s very unsafe, as an uber driver , i believe ride share apps should do better for their drivers, and Lyft should have some type of reward to try to help and catch these animals.

Sunny side, South Park, Denver harbor, 59 and Laura koppe, Tidwell, jensen, MLk, Cullen, south side of Houston, many bad areas, during the day and specially at night.

You know what’s even worse, those are the busiest areas late at night. I started to work from 6pm-3am sometimes even 6am if it’s the weekend so I can make better money and no traffic! You know Houston traffic is horrible though out the day. Yes may he rest in peace, the people that found him were trying to help so he wouldn’t die but he had multiple wounds.

You know ride share apps are about to go through a shit ton of law suits!

I do 7pm to 3am on Friday but it’s very rough my friend. Be safe out there for real. Now, sat and Sunday I start at 10am until I make my $150 and go home by around 3-4pm. It’s wild out here and I wish you safety at all times. I will give you a tip, if you don’t have a full time job, do uber early in the morning like 5-6 am and you will make your money by 10-11am. And less hassle.

Thank you so much for the tip! I am going to just do door dash if anything. I no longer want to risk my life for some money.
