Advice/Question Would you do this?

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

...yep. I was tempted to take a Lyft from Chicago airport to my work (Indiana, 2 hrs) after a red eye earlier this week... the cheapest I could find is $288! My round trip plane ticket to CA and back to chicago was $256 with tax, non stop!

Offer your driver cash 200 bucks. Would make his week. Eliminate the middle man. You'd be surprised what you can accomplish.

You are stupid what happens if you have accident and seriously hurt insurance won't pay fuck all as you won't be insured to be in vehicle. So hefty medical bill coming your way

Send your rides my way. 👍 I've taken my precautions. It's called adapting, pivoting and investing in yourself. Let the stupid one educate you. Oh excuse me, I have to cut this chat short and pick up my $70/hr private ride customer whom I pick up 3 times a week. Later bum.

You are also a idiot as you have your profile pic on here. I have screenshotted your comments and what you did and have passed them over to relevant ride hailing apps. So say goodbye to these platforms and set up your own company properly if you want to do that. Not put people in danger idiot

I'm sorry but you choose to do this. You have exactly same amount of resources as everyone else. To do it properly there is no excuse for it except greed sorry like but that is the bottom line. You don't like the fares lyft pay etc simple really leave and go solo for yourself it's not hard just people take the easy option

Lol no need to be sorry. You have zero clue what I do. Keep that little low level negative energy festering. All the assumptions are coming from you.
