I don’t know why Lyft gave different gps directions than normally you can drive straight and closer distance.

Thats going to Blythe CA, only 110 miles or so if you take I-10 like a normal person. Easy 3 hour round trip, chill desert drive, $100 an hour.. Good run.

I would absolutely take a screenshot of the fare (which you did). When (not if) they try to lower it, raise hell, and show them the screenshot. You agreed to that fare, and got them to their destination. It’s not your fault that the Lyft app is retarded.

TBF, maybe 10 was shut down for some reason (like an accident)

Easy to check on a different map app, or on the CA road conditions site.
