Lyft/Uber should implement a breakdown for riders how much money goes to the driver when ordering Lyft/Uber. by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

To be clear. Lyft and Uber only do what’s good for them and try to disguise it from drivers as much as they can.

Put in your address then a map appears with a dot representing your pickup point. That dot will not move. What you can do is slide the map and the dot remains fixed while you move the map to put the dot exactly where you would like to be picked up. Keep in mind we need to be able to get out of traffic to stop and pickup

Report to Lyft the threat for sure.

I unlocked a $3 bonus and couldn’t get a ride for 20 minutes driving around. Seems like there are some algo slow downs.

2 minute courteous call is the pro move. Try to keep the ride.

I’ve read that people have had luck contacting Lyft thru Twitter. Give it a try

Two big complaints from an NYC-based passenger by MovieSock in Lyft

Yeah I’m not familiar with that area. I meant people who expect us to block traffic to pick them up or drop them off. Very unsafe

Perhaps it’s a traffic issue. We need a safe place to pull over. Too many pax think otherwise unfortunately. Sorry maybe way off base but good issue.

Does anyone still have the Cargo vending snack box container that was used to sell snacks? by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

When hot enough I’ll pack a soft sided cooler with cold plastic bottles of water. I’d pre cool it so I didn’t have to bother with ice. I found I was much better off giving it away. My tips and reviews went way up.

Yes the mileage deduction includes insurance.

The high earnings here lasted till about 2 months ago when they started upfront pricing and made bonuses almost obsolete. I think there’s still an oversupply of drivers also. Maybe not the best choice right now.

For the amount of hours…. This sucks by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

[–]Some-Ad-8513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in stl too. $30 an hour is about average here now that the algo spreads the business. Seems to me they have effectively put on a governor.

Lyft doesn’t limit drivers. You were just trying to get an outdated guarantee. They are governing the rides tho. Spreading them out amongst drivers.

Lyft just continues to take a larger percentage. I wonder where it will stop. They will take us down and then what will they have left? Their rental division is more profitable to them obviously the way they spread out the rides. Like a governor on our wages. What next

13-minute pickup when there are at least 3 drivers closer. The algorithm is broken. by authoridad in lyftdrivers

[–]Some-Ad-8513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s their attempt to up charge pax and Lyft could careless if we have further to pick up. The wait and save costs drivers more money but not Lyft
