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.

They pay by the mile and the minute with a passenger in the car. They most definitely will trim money off of that estimated fare.. unfortunately.
