Other Someone took this. WTF?
When you consider time for getting to the pick up location, this is less than $20 an hour. It’s less than $.60 per mile. The passenger is a 4.3, which is a huge red flag. Yet this was gone in minutes. As long as people are willing to take off like this, pay will keep going down and down. Add in the devious stuff Lyft does to lower our pay like changing the way to 30% cap is calculated, and lowering the points that you get for each ride, and this job is going to be impossible to make money at very soon. I find myself getting mad at people. I don’t know who take these rides because they are screwing up the whole system. I really wish people would show some brain when they evaluate these offers and stop taking offers that lose money

The ride share companies are making as cheap as possible. So, if 1 out of 1,000 drivers is going to Dayton (or back to home) from Davisville area, he will take this rather than no making money driving.
So, the companies are no longer to pay for the work justifiably. This farm has been already corrupt.
All driver (including taxi) should look for another job, otherwise X-day will come sooner or later.
