IDK about that but I imagine there are many that feel the same way, maybe someone sees this and perhaps rethinks what they are doing as many people "bought in" to apps.
I did Uber and Lyft driving in Los Angeles full time in 2017 and 2018. I moved out of state and made more money delivering pizzas in a small town of 15,000 people. $11.50 an hour, plus $2.50 a delivery, plus all the tips. Every delivery was within 12 miles with zero traffic!
Uber's been turning on preferences for the last 4 weeks. Even after you select your preferred rides they turn on the ones you don't want. You have to frequently check your permissions in your phone and on the apps.😮😅
@vibesaddickentertainment9777 yeah!! All of sudden you start getting pings for preferences you didn't set. Worse! You get a rating reduction for something they heard you say when they turned on your microphone. Geesh!! Imagine the Law suites when drivers a nd passenhers learn their private info on their phones was accessed and collected. Worse yet, distributed...
so they can do whatever they want but we can not fight. even stop one Saturday around the US will teach them a lot but we will not be starving just for one day.@@VinnyKuzz
Vinny At some point, we have to take a stand. I deleted the app all together, not dealing with the bullshit. At least you still have the higher tier you can separate.
I've stopped driving for Lyft as well. Uber and private clients for me, I'll let the Lyft customers wait extra time to find a driver for extra comfort.
Well my friend as a former platinum, here is my take. Been with Uber n Lyft from the beginning. My last account is 5 years old I don’t are about any of the hype about gold platinum or anything like that. Owner operator my own company for 25 years. I’ve told Uber in several occasions, I don’t do residential, clubs, malls or anything that will put me at risk. Even at that one attempted carjack against me. I work International Dr. and Disney, 90% oí it airports. I don’t care for acceptance rate or cancelation rate. Still make $200.00 per day is only 8 hrs.
Hey Vinny. Had no idea they cut the rates.....yet again. Not surprised though. Interestingly, I still qualify for Lux Black and Black XL, but not Extra Comfort.
Dude today what made me angry with Lyft is I didn’t realize there was a bright switch on there was turn on would automatically switch my rides which I had a good rise and that gets switched over to three dollars and four dollars rides I have an XL vehicle and the XL been paying Trash
Thats too bad buddy. Bought a NEW Cadillac for that ish! I bought a house cash in 2019 instead of a new Cadillac. I've since been deactivated but im at home chilling 100% paid off😁. The b.s all stopped! Thanks lyft. Too bad they resorted to games👍🏽
What year is the car? Lyft is giving mixed messages. They tell me EC rides are for newer cars and experienced drivers with as many passengers as can hold. They tell the Pax that EC rides are roomier rides And up to 4 passengers. I hounded them till they took me off of EC rides.
I just deleted the app because they are exactly what You said, trash, I’ve been offered the same amount for all three categories I qualify for, Lyft, extra comfort & XL fuck Lyft! Eat my shorts
THAT EXTRA COMFORT RIDE EXAMPLE YOU POSTED FROM NW 50TH DR TO S FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH SHOW 66 DOLLARS PAID BY THE RIDERS, THE DRIVERS GET 23.99......F EM!!!
I honestly try not to look at what they charge the riders but it's starting to get out of hand with these awfully low offers. It is fast becoming a breaking point.
Lyft removed LUX. I removed my LUX car. I flatout refuse to use my LUX SUV for them ever again. Pax catfish comfort rides. ESP airport rides. These idiots skirt XL in favor of comfort thinking they will get XL privies. HELL NO. This is where 2nd row bench seats are champions. My 3rd row will NEVER go down to allow XL privies for comfort prices🤬
That extra comfort is a poece of crap. I was heated. Call them and dont give up. I called for 7 straight days and they finally gave me the option to remove extra comfort in my preferences. I do XL only.
If you are driving a high-end SUV, just drive black and SUV. All of the other platforms are not worth it. Leave the comfort and XL for the drivers who are driving regular vehicles. You should not be driving comfort if you are a black car SUV driver. You have to have a strategy. Use strategy, Do not just drive.
Lyft is heading down the drain, completely mismanaged company, imagine them making $30 on one $100 lux ride now they they will be make the same $30 on 15 shit extra comfort rides $3 and $5 rides, this a bizarr company, they can't creat their own identity, they are copy cat much of most thier plate form, i heading to Starbucks working for $22 much better than beating my new 60k Lexus for sone shit extra comfort.
Yeah, I don't think levels matter anymore since upfront pricing, which is why I require $1.05 per mile to start my car for anything. They will send $0.45-$0.88 for any levels. They want to know who is desperate or not paying attention. Also, with comfort, you will find riders trying to pile 5 people in it, and i gotta tell them they need to order an XL. It's a mess, and transparency does not exist. The purpose of comfort was, more leg room and newer year model. Comfort should not replace XL because XL handles more than 4 passengers so they really did F-up!
Hi I am part time Lyft and Uber driver in Atlanta Georgia I am so upset that Lyft preferred rides I drive 2016 Honda Odyssey. Do you drive Chevy suburban or Cadillac Escalade? Is your vehicle brand new?
fight club never talks about fight club and I’m gonna tell you exactly why they did it because people to do private always, and will always try to turn that customer into a cash cow and the rideshare companies are tired of it they’re listening and watching and making sure you’re staying on the platform and working for them only they know every move you make everything you do every aspect of your life so you don’t think they know everybody’s doing cash Rides it is what it is all the new people are coming on and they don’t know any difference so you’re out the door 🚪
Here is what i don't get. Why remove LUX. Who was it hurting if you kept it there? I may not of gotten a lot but when i did LUX payed good. They the added extra comfort which they say now i dont qualify for because of my age of car. Could of added extra comfort but still kept LUX. Stupid. 2014 Lexus ES300h.
Yup, they actually lost another Tesla to Uber. I was driving mostly Lyft Lux all week long, barely touching Uber Comfort while it was slow. But, now, full time Uber comfort/ comfort Electric only. I did only 3 Lyft rides this week, and it was because they had a $21 streak. In my market, they are still not offering us Lyft Extra Comfort, but they removed Lux. Can’t wait for these people to get sued over this. Never seen anything like it. Super stupidity. At least when Uber did it, they then added comfort/ electric.
The only solution to your problem is to work harder! Uber, lyft, DoorDash and Instacart they all have the same practice and that is to screw the driver. These gigs are only a way to earn extra money not pay the mortgage.
Lyft did this change for one reason and one reason only. They needed a platform with the same name and because they couldn't just upgrade certain cars on regular lyft they took preferred rides and lux rides and called it extra comfort to natch ubers comfort. They also lowered the price so when people opened up both uber and lyft app they'll be focusing on the word comfort. I drive a dodge grand caravan and used to have preferred regular and xl. Now I only get regular and xl. Not sure how or why a dodge minivan doesn't qualify for extra comfort but a Toyota sienna and chrysler pacifica does. Mind you though both of those are hybrids. I used to get several preferred rides for people who wanted the bigger vehicle but not pay xl rates. Except for Saturday night, since this change on lyft it's killing me because I don't drive weekends and there's not to much xl demand during the day. Now I'm not pulling in 27 to 35 an hour I was making and its significantly dropped to 17 to 23 per hour. I'm still figuring out how to make it work. But I had switched to driving for time vs miles a few months ago. But losing the preferred rides is what's changed my hourly avg, if those people changed to select extra comfort. I'm basically reduced to driving my gas guzzling minivan to do regular lyft and the occasional xl ride. Hang in there vinny. This first week or two is a learning process. They zig we zag.
Hell of a comment and ALL spot on!! While NONE of it makes sense except for the money grab part of it, drivers mean nothing to these apps so we have to make the adjustments and get our money. Keep moving forward!!
Lyft could have continued to lower rates without making this big fuss, changing and hurting other drivers. Not all will drop down and accept those rides.
Thank you for your voice with those 2 loser and mess up with people life, did you ever get think let get all driver together open the company to kick their ass let driver keep all the fare and tips, we just take monthly subscription only
Never said better vizzy riders going to be disappointed when a camry pull up 😂 also now uber going to get worse look out for less premier rides because a s🫡🫡t loads of driver just come over going to be lucky if uber driver get two premier rides a day lol this is a dissaster ready to happen.
EXACTLY!!! They not only hurt us on their platform but also on the other app as well! Meanwhile, they "play" driver to say they "know" what its like SMFH!!
You are voicing the frustration of lux drivers, XL driver, Uber drivers, and the entire rideshare community watching the race to the bottom!
IDK about that but I imagine there are many that feel the same way, maybe someone sees this and perhaps rethinks what they are doing as many people "bought in" to apps.

That happen to me with shopping they keep putting it on 🤦🏾🤦🏾😂

Imagine if we all stopped working for Lyft. The company will no longer exist.
Well, we want them here but they have to be fair to us. This move is an act of desperation. NOT a good look.
We , Lyft /uber driver needs new platform
so they can do whatever they want but we can not fight. even stop one Saturday around the US will teach them a lot but we will not be starving just for one day.@@VinnyKuzz
Vinny
At some point, we have to take a stand. I deleted the app all together, not dealing with the bullshit. At least you still have the higher tier you can separate.
I'm hearing lots of drivers are going dropping the app, don't know if thats the answer but I do understand!!
I've stopped driving for Lyft as well. Uber and private clients for me, I'll let the Lyft customers wait extra time to find a driver for extra comfort.
As a Lyft Driver, I can separate my XL from my regular Lyft, but I can’t qualify for extra comfort
Its amazing they want us to have the newest vehicles but refuse to pay us what's needed to buy them HAHAHA
IMO. Lyft is trying to provide premium at lower cost to attract customers. But the burden falls unto the drivers.
100%!!!! As if we can withstand anymore stress on us, they feel as if they have an endless supply of drivers. Its sad.
This rides are not worth taking this extra comfort is trash 🗑your right lately I have been driving Uber Premier and Comfort electric ⚡️
LFG and get that bag!!!
we miss you in discord.
I show up LOL
Solid video hitting with fact after fact!
TEAMWORK!!!

Absolutely, run it like a business and stick to what works. O-town is one market I haven't spent much time in but soon!!
Hey Vinny. Had no idea they cut the rates.....yet again. Not surprised though. Interestingly, I still qualify for Lux Black and Black XL, but not Extra Comfort.
Crazy how that works!! The Mercedes is a no go but the Corolla is SMH.
@@VinnyKuzz Exactly. Maybe a blessing in disguise though seeing what you're going through.
@@VinnyKuzzI read about this on Reddit
They made us pivot 😢 pivot to more hours 😢
Use their app to build your future BOSS!!!
im gonna lose plat this week too.
We worked for it just to lose it because of their inconsiderate thinking.
Dude today what made me angry with Lyft is I didn’t realize there was a bright switch on there was turn on would automatically switch my rides which I had a good rise and that gets switched over to three dollars and four dollars rides I have an XL vehicle and the XL been paying Trash
These apps have been pushing our payouts down especially Lyft, its getting damn near impossible to do these rides.
Thank you for your insights & honesty.
Thank you
You're welcome
I feel your pain! Just bought a new cadillac to keep doing lux and black and everything is $5 comfort rides now
I called them every day until they took me off those EC rides. Use the chat function instead of calling
@drakechap those ec rides are worthless and will lose alot of drivers because of it.
Thats too bad buddy. Bought a NEW Cadillac for that ish! I bought a house cash in 2019 instead of a new Cadillac. I've since been deactivated but im at home chilling 100% paid off😁. The b.s all stopped! Thanks lyft. Too bad they resorted to games👍🏽
I haven’t had a single comfort ping in my 200 plus pings since extra comfort rolled out.
We have a driver down here with a Model 3 that hasn't has one either!! Wonder why that is?
What year is the car? Lyft is giving mixed messages. They tell me EC rides are for newer cars and experienced drivers with as many passengers as can hold. They tell the Pax that EC rides are roomier rides And up to 4 passengers. I hounded them till they took me off of EC rides.
@@drakechap mine is a 19
Your not missing anything! Regular Lyft rides are close to the same as Extra Comfort.
As a rider, I would not want Corolla/Sentra when ordering Lyft Extra Comfort. I am downloading Uber app right now
the same here . I glad I still have uber XL
Thanks man it really is hurting our family
That's exactly what happened. XL Uber then pays Uber x fares.
Yep, creating more supply than demand. Prices drop.
I just deleted the app because they are exactly what You said, trash, I’ve been offered the same amount for all three categories I qualify for, Lyft, extra comfort & XL fuck Lyft! Eat my shorts
#KNOWYOURWORTH
I called them every day until they took me off those EC rides. Use the chat function instead of calling
I have not accepted any ExtrsConfort rides. They Do Not Pay! Might as well be regular Lyft Fares to the driver…..
Exactly!!
straight xl has gone under too. they sent me a xl for $6. then next day xl goes up to what should be.
I noticed that also, like they are replacing basic rides with XL and just paying it out low.
THAT EXTRA COMFORT RIDE EXAMPLE YOU POSTED FROM NW 50TH DR TO S FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH SHOW 66 DOLLARS PAID BY THE RIDERS, THE DRIVERS GET 23.99......F EM!!!
I honestly try not to look at what they charge the riders but it's starting to get out of hand with these awfully low offers. It is fast becoming a breaking point.
@VinnyKuzz Agree fella, took a guy 15 miles on Halloween evening on X. He showed me his final uber receipt. Uber charged him 68 bucks and I got 32.
The boat show was hard to gage the demand in black in fll. The following week I did better with out the boat show only driving Lux black
Agreed its why I go left when the crowd goes right. Too many cars in the same spot!!
Lyft removed LUX. I removed my LUX car. I flatout refuse to use my LUX SUV for them ever again. Pax catfish comfort rides. ESP airport rides.

Google maps is a beast.😊
YES SIR!!
It's bad here in AZ man. I post all my offers and rides on TH-cam and it's all trash since lux went away.
I believe it boss, I've been watching your videos as well as others. It will come to an apex very shortly, this will backfire!
If you are driving a high-end SUV, just drive black and SUV. All of the other platforms are not worth it. Leave the comfort and XL for the drivers who are driving regular vehicles. You should not be driving comfort if you are a black car SUV driver. You have to have a strategy. Use strategy, Do not just drive.
I have a question. Why do you need either platform?

Try being a Lyft flex driver. After my rental. I have 60.00 for Saturday.. I been driving since 9 am .it's 9 at night now.
Extra comfort cost to the rider only 10% less than xl price but pay to drivers 1/3.
Totally agree but we have to be patient and wait on the requests.
It is utterly ridiculous that they mixed extra comfort with XL.
I got more u er ride after taking a few comforts to the airport

They lose money on Reservations gotta eat the loss and pay us when they cant get them a cheap ride they payed for
I don't do comfort.
Haven’t turned on Lyft since they got rid of Lux. All garbage. Screw them

They trying to turn Excel into basically a regular UberX or regular Lyft they want us to be taken fares at the same price as everyone
We need to go on strike!!!!
The only solution to your problem is to work harder! Uber, lyft, DoorDash and Instacart they all have the same practice and that is to screw the driver. These gigs are only a way to earn extra money not pay the mortgage.
I totally stopped taking Extra Comfort rides. $1.01 a mile!? Rip off
Why not stick with just Black?
If keep driving for Lyft at this point I will call you slave 😂 extra comfort it’s a scam
Yeah it’s looking bad for Lyft
Boss, they are looking desperate for sure. Earnings will be a big tell sign for them.

I think Lyft is trying to prepare for the upcoming recession ahead
Lyft could have continued to lower rates without making this big fuss, changing and hurting other drivers. Not all will drop down and accept those rides.
We already in a recession it don’t matter they gotta go to work no matter what
Still trading?
