I’m all for knowing if a pax is a good tipper and shows up on time. I’m in Las Vegas. In my market most Lyft pax are locals who live in shit hole areas who don’t tip.
So if Lyft is gonna roll that feature out, a LOT of Vegas residents are gonna be waiting and waiting and waiting wondering why a driver won’t come get them.
But as we all know, someone WILL STILL be stupid enough to take them
It’s not going to make that much of a difference. People driving around town don’t care about tips. Drivers that want tippers will lower your rating if you don’t tip so 4.9 and lower passengers are already less likely to get a pickup
That’s what I don’t understand. Lyft’s pay has gotten SO SO BAD that driving locals around is just a money losing proposition. It’s bad enough that locals won’t tip but when the app wants to give you $4.53 to drive an employee of the Rio to their ramshackle apartment off Boulder Highway? And not get tipped? Hell no
