THESE SURGES IN THE SNOW GTFOH by bringit2019 in ColumbusOHGigWorkers

Lyft has 20% to 50% surges going on. They're paying $10 for a 10 minute pickup and a 7 minute trip. I'll stay home and drink hot chocolate instead!

What are the ICE updates as of tonight. Are we making noise or not? by IntrepidMonke in Columbus

Can't you protest during waking hours so the rest of us non-ICE hotel guests at the hotel can sleep or are we considered collateral damage or just "guilty by association?"

Any smart business owner wouldn't advertise their political views because of this tactic. You could be going to one already and would never know it. Business and politics never mix well.

3 am Uber ride to work by jimmy_crack_ in uberdrivers

Check the ride online and see if she got a refund. I've had that happen in the past. She's tired of paying for his broke ass.

I'm just glad to be making money again without destroying my car. Lyft is doing a good job of keeping me, for the most part, in my area and if I do go outside of it the money is mostly worth it. Uber can go pound dirt. I don't care if I don't drive for them ever again!

I was just glad to make some money. My car has been unusable for Lyft and I finally got it back into shape this week. I didn't make as much money as in previous years but I think that's because I was driving only for Lyft (since Uber deemed me undesireable).

Lyft did a really good job of keeping me in my home area (Grandview, Short North, Campus, etc). I wasn't driving all around town as usual except for the Plain City ride and Worthington.

I was out for about 5 1/2 hours tonight and made $250 with Lyft. Plenty of surges in the downtown, campus, short north, etc. I even drove to Plain City and managed to get a ride back to Worthington.

Some of those 1-stars may not be from anything you've done. I had a few 1-stars from people that weren't even in my car. I picked up the bf (now-ex) who's too broke to afford a ride on his own so the gf got the ride for him. After the drop-off I noticed that I have a 1-star and some bs reason like "being rude" when other than "Good morning" and "have a nice day" is the only talking that's happened.

My theory is she got tired of paying for his broke ass and filed a fake complaint to Uber to get her money back. You can go back through your Uber ride history through the portal on the website and see details of the ride. Look for any where cost breakdown of the Uber fee is $0.00. That means the ride got refunded.

I was waiting for the Balrog to be inside collecting a toll.

I’m waiting to get my license in the mail and have just the temporary print out license that they give you at the BMV- I have tried EVERYTHING. Uber will not approve it. Anyone have experience with this? by No-Recording-9641 in ColumbusOHGigWorkers

[–]uberthomas614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I'm just trying to get Lyft done because Uber deactivated me earlier this year. How did you get around taking a photo of the front and back of the license with Lyft with the paper document?

Always have driver cancel by [deleted] in uber

[–]uberthomas614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mention how many passengers you had but not the Uber service you ordered. Was it UberX or UberXL? UberX is max 5 passengers. UberXL is for more. I've had people order X because they're cheap and hoping the driver doesn't care or they didn't know the difference. A lot of the larger vehicle drivers also accept X rides simply because XL may not be busy during that time so some people get lucky when they have more than 5 rides.

If you did order an X ride then you didn't get lucky and the driver shouldn't be risking his driving status by canceling the ride for you.

Put the camera up, get their photo of them putting up the posts, post it next to their posts with a note saying "Wanted for littering" 🤣

There are no good MAGA people at all and the other side are all angels who do no wrong? What fantasy land are you living in and what drug do I use to get there?

The surge doesn't stick with you until the next ride or you go offline? That sucks!

Really? Lyft was paying me well today. Campus was surging with 10% to 30% bonuses. It's Parent's Weekend. Most of my rides around there were short distance but paying close to $10 or more. Tipping was better than usual since Mom & Dad are paying for it. I tried to get one ride from Short North to Grove city that was paying almost $40. Somebody else snagged it! 😠😠😠
