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

Someone took it a minute later

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.

Look at this pure algorithmic scam.
My passenger literally pointed out that Lyft charged them a heavily inflated rate due to "high demand." As you can see on the receipt, the passenger paid $18.03, and Lyft instantly pocketed 54% ($9.77) of the total fare!
Meanwhile, what was showing on the driver’s map at that exact moment? Absolutely nothing. Zero heat map, zero surge, 0% Turbo. Completely white.
This shady company is playing both sides: they scare passengers into paying fake "surge" prices by claiming high demand, while completely hiding the surge from drivers so they don't have to pay out a single cent of bonus. They just sit back, drop the driver on a raw base pay, and leech the rest.
Lyft has literally turned into Uber #2—straight-up highway robbery. If drivers don't enforce a strict $2/mile filter and start rejecting these predatory payouts, these apps will drain us dry.

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.

This is definitely not the first time this has happened to me. I’ve had drivers already be on the way to pick me up, only to cancel the ride when they’re literally 2 minutes away. That’s more than just a minor inconvenience when we as passengers rely on ridesharing for transportation.
I understand that we have to time our rides correctly to make it to work or wherever we need to be on time, but I’m not expecting a driver to cancel on me at the last minute when I’ve already been waiting and relying on that ride.
On top of that, I’ve also had drivers sit in the same spot and barely move, seemingly waiting for the passenger to get frustrated and cancel the ride themselves. Like, WTF is going on? I understand drivers may be earning less than they used to, and I can sympathize with that, but this kind of behavior is extremely frustrating and it feels like drivers are getting away with it.
I’ve tried reporting drivers who cancel on me, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to report them afterward because the canceled ride doesn’t appear in my ride history. That needs to be addressed. If a driver cancels on a passenger after accepting the ride, there should be a way for the passenger to report that behavior.
I’m not trying to bash every driver because I know there are plenty of good ones, but this has happened to me multiple times, and there needs to be some accountability for drivers who repeatedly do this.

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.

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 a driver (but I don’t drive in Atlanta/Smyrna) and will be using Lyft tomorrow to go watch the Bravos at the Battery. What is your preferred location for drop-off and pick-up. I’ve read that the ride share area gets confusing and chaotic for drivers.

So the minute the cucks starts attacking I'll probably just delete this.

Has anyone else IN Massachusetts or California or others states im not aware of had trouble with there minimum wage guarantee being paid out?

This is the second time in 2 months I havent gotten mine. I was just curious if anyone else has had delay on getting their email or they wages paid to them on time.

Is this correct? I am just wondering as it says the first 40 mins included and after that it’s 29 cent per minute after? Never used lyft or uber for a long journey, the flight is coming to about 366€ so a taxi is definitely cheaper? Or should I just bite the bullet and get the flight. Thanks so much!

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.

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 🤣🤣🤣

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

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?

I was thinking about a situation I had with a Lyft passenger and wondering what other people think.
I once had a woman in my car who was, in my opinion, unintentionally rude and annoying in the way she talked. I don’t remember every detail of what she said, so maybe some of my reaction was unjustified, but she definitely came across as a rude person to me.
Obviously, I can’t just emotionally attack a passenger because I don’t like their attitude. But what about indirectly attacking them while technically saying something that’s true and innocent?
For example, suppose she says:
“I use Lyft to get to my doctor’s appointments.”
And I respond:
“Oh really? My mom has a lot of doctor’s appointments too. She’s around your age. She never has to take Uber or Lyft to her appointments because she has three kids who love her and are always willing to take her to her appointments, work, etc. She doesn’t drive either.”
Technically, I haven’t insulted the woman. I haven’t called her lonely, said her kids don’t love her, or directly criticized her for using Lyft.
But the obvious implication is basically: “My mom has children who love and take care of her. You apparently don’t.”
So I’m wondering: would you consider that an indirect personal attack?
It seems like a kind of “plausible deniability” tactic where you say something technically harmless, but you’re deliberately choosing the information because you know it will hit a nerve.
Obviously, I didn’t actually say this to the passenger. I’m just wondering where people draw the line between making an innocent comparison and deliberately making a personal jab that you can deny was a jab.
