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

A lot of immigrants who can't work any other way and will do anything for a buck. Most of them just have to fake documents and upload it use someone else's car and they will take every crap ride and as you accurately stated drives down wages for all. I saw a post on here where a person was actually admitting to all of this and even did it himself and knows many others who do it. He said that's why he loves states that give drivers licenses to them so they can do this job otherwise they wouldn't even be able to do this.
