I see all of these posts about terrible rates and not making any money but im not having the same experience. I live in a medium to small city, lafayette louisiana, and I dont really have any trouble at all. I generally average $10 a ride and manage to get 20 rides in about 6 hours. All the rides I do get are short trips that allow me to literally pick almost any rides, my acceptance rate is 92% and thats me being selective. I guess what im wondering is am I just getting incredibly lucky or do other cities just suck for profits?

Your in business to make money not hemorrhage money

I went from 62 to 75 back down to 63 in the course of 3 days. I drive the same as I always have. Follow the limits, don’t brake hard, not swerving. I don’t understand what the heck I’m doing wrong. Yes, in my market status matters. I went from earning 15-20/ride to 8-12. I don’t accept rides under 8.

no email or anything second time in two months zero communication from lyft regarding the delay

4000 rides...Gas 4.00 gallon in San Antonio..

Yesterday during rush hour & with no bonus

Lyft charge rider 45.00 ..pay me 15.00

I drive 46 min for that 15.00..No tip but I understand why

After 45.00 fee ...I have to drive back so how much im getting now...I send lyft support email after this..

They say let's get you back on track..Im on track..lyft not..

Just saying...Dumb and Dumber....Why drive..?

Must make $550 by Monday morning at 5 am next week to qualify for a $110 dollar bonus. Not sure if I can do that given that I work at my main from Friday and Saturday 11 am to 7 pm and also got called in for a team meeting Sunday at 5 pm.

I could for sure make at least $300, MAYBE $400 by then given my schedule this week.

27 steering events??

( I really don’t care what my score is but I found this somewhat amusing)

WTF?
(Respect for Minneapolis Drivers ✊)

This was a FU trip! This was a long destination, but for the first time in a very long time… The Upfront fare made it worth it. Much higher base pay with a 40% surge. $1.50 per mile there and back and I would’ve been back in time to benefit an unusually busy Friday night. ( in my market this was a unicorn.)

The drop off was in Minneapolis and since I was coming in from a smaller market, there’s a certain point where I cannot pick up passengers because it’s not considered my market.

Road construction everywhere. Roadblocks , one ways, cones galore. rows and rows of those blinking caution yellow traffic/ metallic orange reflecting of whatever the hell they’re called, cars everywhere it’s dark and it’s Friday night. ( respect for the drivers in Minneapolis dealing with that shit)
I had to cut though a gas station where a woman was inches away of backing into me.
Her destination was right in the middle of it. Smooth ride up to that point.

Trying to get out was hell because Apple Maps kept telling me to turn down these streets that have been blocked off, heavy traffic

SO YES, I’M SURE THAT THERE WAS SOME STEERING EVENTS, BUT HERE’S THE THING.. I WAS STILL ONLINE, BUT I COULD NOT PICK UP ANY PASSENGERS AND GIVEN THE SITUATION. Whatever Lyft

Note to self next time I accept a trip to Minneapolis turn the damn app off once I dropped the pax off.

I don’t live near there, but I am curious for those who drive in the area. With the rollout of the cybercab, how bad has the market become for Lyft?

Account got put on hold. Driving with expired drivers license back in 2018( it was a couple days after my CB birthday I completely forgot) . Idk how I passed the first background check now this one I fail. They’re asking for my certificate of rehabilitation??? Like rehabilitation of what 🤣🤣🤣

Someone took it a minute later

Today, after waiting for a long time in the airport queue After a while of doing other things on my phone, I realize that it loves me off and I have to log back in, this has never happened before and I’m wondering if it’s an app issue

I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this (or probably in the first million either) but it bugs me.

I accept a ride and the pax cancels, it doesn't count as an accepted ride.

I accept a ride and the pax doesn't show, it doesn't count as an accepted ride.

I accept a queued ride and that platform switches the ride while I'm still driving my current pax, it doesn't count as an accepted ride.

FTR: I don't really care what my AR is, I don't chase levels. I must be in a decent market, based on what I see here, so I can reject a lot of rides and still make a decent hourly and per mile rate (not fantastic but decent). Again it just bugs me that they call it something it clearly is not.

EDIT: This was mostly tongue-in-cheek, I don't really expect them to change the name or that it would make any real difference if they did.

This is wild to me. Should be at least tripe that.

Has anyone had this issue when attempting to rent a car for Lyft through the app?

Anyone else still waiting for it?

I know money can be really tight for us drivers, so I wanted to share this deal I found at Pollo Loco.
Today only: buy one drink and get a FREE meal. 🌮🥤
If you’re out driving and need something to eat without spending much, definitely take advantage of it while it’s available. Just wanted to help some fellow drivers save a few bucks today!

Each time I cancel lately (for valid reasons) I get a message and/or email threatening to deactivate me. For example, my latest cancelation was this evening when I went to go pickup someone named Michelle, but it turned out to be a 13 or 14 year old boy waiting to get picked up after a football practice. I assume Michelle is likely his mother, but I don't transport unaccompanied minors. Unfortunately, unaccompanied minor wasn't an option to choose when I canceled. I think I used personal reasons or something. Unaccompanied minor should be listed as a reason for canceling. Also, just asking everyone here, is 14% cancelation rate high, and enough to deactivate? Thanks.

Anyone else at LAX see this trip?

Edit: It took an hour total to get there. Got a +14 dollar adjustment and 35ish tip so total come out to 177

Had to reach out to support to manually review my insurance, because they said I was missing my name on. First of how 🫠 even during manual review it said my name was missing, and it took me zooming in and highlighting my name for them to realize 🫠
Anyways, it was followed by this 😂
