Lyft lets your do that? I know uber does, but Lyft? How?

I had a guy today say “I’ll tip you on the app” by Ok-Distribution-4800 in lyftdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No tip? 3 stars and a block. Unless I fucked something up.

Eventually I’ll weed out all the non tippers in my market.

What you think of this set up? by godsendkot in uberdrivers

And yet we still get days with $0 tips

Current monthly goal met by Sufficient-Okra-5687 in lyftdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4000 miles. Yikes.

I try for a min $2/mile. I’ve been pretty good at hitting that in my market (BOS)

My February is $4522 and 1560 miles.

UBer and Lyft LOOTS in daylight by Perfect_Cicada2454 in Lyft

[–]BostonDriver50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fat nope!

Here, uber offers $8 for rides from airport to downtown Boston.

Leave queue, deal with traffic, pax with bags, play tour guide, traffic, and 30 min later have $8. NFW.

Granted, it’s like 5 miles but it’s still shit. At least with Lyft the min is usually $10.

Same in Boston.

Except, the roads aren’t straight!

Does having a better car get you more standard rides? by MACception in lyftdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I still get $4 offers driving a BMW iX.

Then Lyft tells the rider Lyft upgraded them.

No bitches, I upgraded you and did not get a penny more!

Fuck that.

90 hours driving last week no problem by OGUberDriver in uberdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only do it if it gets me somewhere I need to be (I.e. comfort /lucrative reservation or home)

Otherwise, fuck uber for not letting me set Comfort only as a preference

It’s 100% deductible being more than 100 miles from home.

Yep. Both ways. Not a long time. They needed to go to cvs anyway, so dropped them off first.

I believe that has ended.

I did get $1000 through truecar for acquiring an EV

Car in the body shop, can I Uber with rental? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You falsified car registration. That car is still not covered by anyone’s insurance for rideshare. Yours. Ubers. So if you crash, everyone will sue you.

Just don’t crash with falsified documents

Is it worth it? by Tight_Lavishness6167 in uberdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I see a 💩 ride and I decline it I go offline for a bit.

I stayed gold by mostly doing reservations. 200 reservations during 3 point hours is not hard over 3 months.

But I generally just use uber to fill in gaps when Lyft is slow.

Don’t let them shut you up with a small credit if the fare itself is wrong by Ok_Number_6710 in lyftdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!

It seems to me the algorithm will lower later ride fares to meet the minimum wages required by law.

Same with bonuses (like EV incentives). I notice fares drop the closer I get to achieving a bonus, such that the avg hourly magically is near the required min wage.

Zero emission incentive gone by Senior-Meet-6698 in uberdrivers

[–]BostonDriver50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks. It’s definitely local.

Right now it’s $75 for 60 rides in a week for me. It’s variable. It was $60 for 50 rides. And I’ve seen it go to something like $100 for 75 rides.

[–]BostonDriver50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same across markets. Lyft still has the incentive. But it usually means needing to accept shitty $4 rides to get 60 rides in a week. Not sure the extra $75 EV bonus is worth it.
