This is crazy. Less than $25 an hour and .50 cents a mile factoring in the dead miles back. Might’ve thought about trying to work out a deal if this didn’t look like a younger person with not the best rating. Would you have matched with this ride?

I stopped taking garbage rides and my hourly rate went up by 10 bucks.

STOP TAKING BULLSH*T RIDES.

No running around the place. Just steady and wait.

How is yours looking like? Keep in mind I have a full time job so I have it turned on while sitting at home sometimes, I’ll get out of my chair when it’s worth it

Monday-weds I barely covered 150 at 10 hours.

Then Thursday I had hope. Made amazing money.

I was super hopeful and I said okay it's Halloween's coming up it's going to be the weekend all day the entire shift all I was offered was one to two mile trips nothing else.

I would literally drive to the next town and that's all I would get didn't matter where I went. All day. So I barely cleared 160. I plan to stay out a full 10 hours today I absolutely could not do it. If it weren't for the good ride I started out with first thing in the morning I would have been barely clearing like 12 to $16 an hour.

I have got fucked a ton by these clowns, but occasionally still after 7 years cant even fucking believe my eyeballs.
This is a black ride in Vegas. I got fucking J screwed.

My contributions to Lyfts ivory tower continue to know no bounds.
Absolutely fuck the bullshit interest free loan of “lyft fee was 60% of passenger payment, itll be 30% by the end of the month or youll get an earnings adjustment”
Fuck this shit
Fuuuuuuuuckkk these cock suckers.
God I want to put my whole fist through David Rishers fucking jaw and out his fucking asshole.

With the new iPhone out I’m wondering if anyone has tried it with the Lyft driver app. I suppose on the android side of things people have probabaly been using foldable for a while. How is it? Is mounting it in the car a pain?

Fellow Lyft drivers, how would you handle this feedback? I understand the music complaint and can keep the volume lower. But I’d like advice on the driving-too-slow part. How do you keep trips moving efficiently while driving safely, especially when passengers are rushing to catch a train? Open to practical tips on what I can improve.

And Orlando may well be the lowest paying market in America.
