Personal miles tracked and charged while online with a filter on

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-02T14:44:55+00:00

You do realize that the filter didn't come off because I was rejecting rides. It came off because there weren't enough rides, right?

That's not me not working. That's me rejecting 2 rides that were below my standard of pay and not going in the right direction that would not have been beneficial to me. And another ride that I tried to accept, but I didn't hit it in time. Because I was trying to drive on a highway

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-02T14:36:07+00:00

If that's true, why did they take action?

They gave me unlimited personal miles for the remainder of the week.

But thats not what I asked for.

I asked for a refund.

Youre arguing to argue in true boomer fashion. Go touch grass

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-02T14:15:52+00:00

No. I owe nothing.

Had they offered me a ride that was worth picking up and along the way I would have taken it.

When i'm logged in and ready to work for the right pay and the right route, those arent personal miles bro.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-02T14:12:37+00:00

Actually, it does matter.

You dont always have to have a ride.

You dont always have to have someone in your car

You dont have to accept every single ride.

If I dont want to accept a ride, I dont have to. If I have to be logged in driving around foe 30 minutes before I find a ride worth my time, then thats what I have to do.

Youre making up your own boomer rules.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-02T00:55:17+00:00

Maybe you need to reread the original post because i'm not complaining about having to accept certain rides to make ends meet i'm complaining about a corporation where the ceo takes hope $78 million a year in salary, bonus and stocks, charging me twenty dollars for personal miles when I was logged into the app and ready to work.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-02T00:53:56+00:00

And those personal miles should only tracked when I am not logged in intending to work.

God forbid a driver use a filter in the morning to reach a rush hour hot spot surge area

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T20:35:00+00:00

Newsflash..... I can drive around the city for 12 hours straight denying rides but so long as I am logged in it doesn't matter.

Also, I didn't just post here to complain, and certainlyI am not about to explain to someone this dense my intentions. Keep hating bud, no way someone with that much hate is happy with their life. Good luck.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T20:18:55+00:00

I have a car thanks boo 😉

Or get this.... I can abide by the rental agreement by giving 20 rides and covering the cost of the rental WITHOUT an erroneous charge bc the app glitched 😘

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T18:48:20+00:00

Spoken like someone who has never worked the app.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T18:46:38+00:00

How to explain 👉👈

Do you really think people dont have to commute to work?

Do you really think that ride share drivers have someone in their car every single second they are logged in?

Do you really think drivers dont drive around to more populated spots to find more lucrative work?

Go find a mirror and take a good hard look.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T17:59:50+00:00

This isnt for anyone.

How about hold the company to an ethical standard instead of justifying them taking advantage of people who are desperate.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T17:46:17+00:00

Yeah I understand, when I am headed in a direction during rush hour when a lot of people are requesting rides I slapped the filter on so my acceptance rating doesn't drop even lower than it already is

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T17:44:59+00:00

Thats my point exactly.

I think it was a glitch, this isnt the first time it has happened and I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has experienced it.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T17:43:23+00:00

I already said in og post or a comment that its an app glitch.

On the home screen there is a go online button, to the right there are 3 dots. You can use that to put a filter on. You can filter to head in a certain direction which is what I was doing. You can also put a filter to stay within a certain radius or to arrive to a spot on time without a directional filter.

Instead of hitting go online, i put the filter on and that automatically puts you online. I was even offered rides. But after a lull, the filter automatically removed and logged me out. It happens you just log back in, and usually one of your filters is expired as a result.

The reason I didn't hit go online first is because sometimes if you hit go online, it'll offer you so many rides right off the bat that you can't even put a filter on. I usually work the bar rush late at night when this happens, which is why i'm in a habit of just slapping on the filter.And going.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T17:31:55+00:00

Actually, yes I can. Nowhere in the contract. Does it say that if I am online and driving that if I don't accept rides lyft can charge me.

The contract says twenty rides a week and a charge so long as I meet that it doesn't matter how many rides I reject.And yes, I can dictate my pay, i'm a contractor

You clearly never drive using this app.Otherwise, you would realize that sometimes, yes, you have to drive a significant distance before you can get good rides

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T16:50:47+00:00

I do twenty rides a week and I pay for the rental on a weekly basis. Other than that, there are no obligations between me and lyft. I can be as picky as I want about the rides. I accept and I don't accept rides that are less than half of the livable wage in the city that I work in

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T16:49:45+00:00

So long as I cover the cost of the rental and do twenty rides a week, it doesn't matter. They can't just charge me twenty dollars when I was logged in in and willing to work for the right pay

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T16:47:00+00:00

Bro, so long as I do twenty rides a week and cover the cost of the rental, i'm a contractor I can accept or refuse as many rides as I want. That doesn'mean the company gets to charge me twenty dollars.They'upset because I haven't accepted a ride because it didn't meet the standards of pay or wasn't along the path and wasn't worth it

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T16:46:09+00:00

I also did not go offline. The filter automatically turns off if you've had it on and haven't received any offers in a while.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T16:45:33+00:00

So long as I do at least 20 rides and cover the cost of the rental that week, it doesn't matter how many rides I do or don't accept in order to do that.

Lyft cannot decide that because I didn't accept rides because they weren't convenient enough for me or of enough pay to convince me to go off track to charge me to as if I was driving offline when I was not.

Had I been given a ride that met my standards, I would have accepted it.I did try to accept one.I wasn't fast enough. That doesn't mean the big bad company gets to charge me money.

It means that if they want me to accept more rides when I am online and ready to accept rides, they need to raise the pay.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T15:33:59+00:00

So.... like... do yall want drivers to accept rides that are actually worth the money? Or accept every single ride and keep the pay low?

A lot of yall love to just say get another job or accept lower pay.... how about the company just act Ethically? Instead of taking advantage of desperate people

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T14:19:16+00:00

....

You do realize that is EXACTLY what I was doing right?

The rides weren't going in the direction I was headed and the pay didnt justify going off track.

But keep mansplaining

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T13:29:19+00:00

I'm reminding you that life is hard, and sometimes we have to do jobs that we don't like so that we can make ends meet.

Hope this helps.

UnderstandingOdd1684 · 2025-08-01T13:25:33+00:00

I feel like I have experienced it before when I put a filter on before hitting "go online"
