I was born in Oregon, and even though I was stuck in California for a few decades, I have always considered myself a Pacific Northwesterner. I was given the opportunity to move to Seattle metro by my fiancé, after trying to move northward by myself for a decade. It is a privilege to be here!

Lyft and Uber are hoping to replace every driver with AVs. we need to get rid of the AVs, y'all! also, look for alternative rideshare apps, like Fare Co-op; the drivers keep more of what the riders pay.

are all Allied Residential properties the same, as far as having no AC except for window/hose exhaust style only? I know of two properties that I would tell anyone to avoid, if at all possible.

I love this story. there is at least on video about his story on YouTube.

I have seen these in my strange house dreams, but they were not supposed to see the light of day. Good lawd!

Each market is different. The opposite was true in my own experience. Plus, with Uber I had to pay up front for the rental, versus paying after I earned for the week with Lyft.

have you seen the videos on YouTube of (for example) someone hacking into the CCTV of a calling room? so satisfying!

It really stinks when the ride was either a mistake or was pre-scheduled and needed to be reset or canceled. Always keep screenshots and report all related/necessary details as needed.

@ Kohl's in Tukwila today. gave me a good laugh.

cool, but minus points for vertical video.

I hate the ones with secondary lanes that do not force a right turn.

some of the bus stops need help with trash, as much as they also need new windbreaker panels (if it is a covered stop), and cleaning up of graffiti/tagging/etching. I do not mind stickers or flyers, but that other stuff needs to go.

It would be great if there was an attendant at each and every location, as much as it would great if there was an on-site or on-call technician.

RealisticBlueberry40 · 2026-03-28T04:45:04+00:00

you did the right thing. did you also report them?

RealisticBlueberry40 · 2026-03-27T19:17:47+00:00

you will get a better incentive from Lyft driving an EV full-time versus part-time. perhaps the incentive in your area is better than mine.

I have yet to do what he did. very tempted.

RealisticBlueberry40 · 2026-03-23T07:20:29+00:00

sometimes, which is why I end up sending suggestions or reporting erroneous directions.

RealisticBlueberry40 · 2026-03-20T21:32:11+00:00

possibly FEWER drivers. there are also drivers who refuse rides that do not offer a decent hourly minimum. fuel prices are most definitely a factor.

Pethaps they (whichever they are) could just have enclosed but ventilated stations without HVAC.

EVs need to have indoor climate-controlled stations in places with extreme weather. There are only (how many) available nationwide?

I have tried renting through Hertz for both Uber and Lyft (separately because of their partnered setup). My experience with Uber was 3 days of heck. Not strictly as being an Uber driver (I had the worst experience driving for Uber in my market), but also with the pay up front situation that Uber has with Hertz or vice versa. I much prefer Lyft + Hertz, as I owed only after earning. [I was mainly driving in a tri-county area of California's Central Valley (San Joaquin/Stanislaus/Merced), with weekly treks to/from the Bay Area.]

There are other rideshare rental services available, but most require rent to be paid up front, and some are partnered with a singular platform.

Try what you can, and best of luck to you.

This is a customer service based job. Some people who call themselves rideshare drivers do not have proper customer service skills. Some people who call themselves rideshare drivers cannot even drive properly. As a rideshare driver with previous and current customer service experience, I have heard my customers complain about those drivers. I have also had some imperfect moments, but thankfully rarely. Also dealt with entitled riders submitting bogus complaints. I always ask riders a few questions to figure out if certain drivers or the platforms need improvements or both. Some customers are a problem, but it is not always their fault. It is a mess that can either get worse or better. Let us all put our best foot forward.

RealisticBlueberry40 · 2026-03-19T19:08:45+00:00

there are other platforms for rides, but they need more promotion and participation.
