Auto switch is THE major annoyance I have with Lyft and it's always switched to a lower fare! In my market, Riverside, CA, I once saw the Lyft notification asking me if I wanted to switch, but it was JUST a one time thing... Since then, the app has been auto-switching without giving a choice -- I ALWAY cancel these annoying auto-switched rides. Great video Jay!
I can't agree more except for total drive time. In LA I still get to pickup time and to destination time. Along with cross streets. Knowing my area as well as I do makes this great. Also the last few weeks Uber's upfront pricing seems to be dramatically adjusted up.
I drive for both but I just recently I installed the Maxymo app and spent a day adjusting the filters and now I'm finding out that Lyft normally pays better than Uber here in the Phoenix market. Now that being said I don't care about my acceptance rate. The first day of using the app my Uber acceptance rate dropped by 30%, it dropped so fast that Uber contacted me to find out what my criterion was for accepting rides so I told them. So far nothing has changed but I will continue to cherry-pick if I can't make a profit my wheels don't turn.
If never know what you going make Lyft what purpose. What used take 6 to 8 now takes us 12 . I'm talking daily scale . I used make 200 to 300 now lucky hit 100 or 150 that half ..
In Charlotte, NC I do way better with Lyft than I do with Uber. Here we also have the option to decline the switch ride. Uber is actually a couple of dollar cheaper but I can easily doubly my weekly income with Lyft(and working a day job) where I can get a couple hundred dollars with the same hours
They have changed that in my market Nw Arkansas now you have a choice if you switch rides. I have also noticed lyft has begun paying along distance pick up fee
Having to wait up to 5 minutes and having to call the passenger if they don't show up is also BS. Don't want to wait for 5 minutes for a 5 minutes min fair ride. Cuts my take in half. Seems that the time to pax is longer for Lyft rides in general as there are fewer drivers in my market.
For the past 2 weeks in L.A, LYFT reigns Supreme. They're running consecutive trip bonus from 12, 15, 21 for 3 rides every 2 hrs. I'm making bank with short trips.
I've been avoiding these in Orange County because, at least in my experience, at least one ride out of those 3 consecutive will take me waaaaaaaaaaayyyy away from where I want to be. For instance, using your market, it would be Santa Monica, Santa Monica, Riverside. For me, it was Laguna Hills, Dana Point, La Mesa (down in San Diego). Actually it was La Mesa as the second ride which not only left me completely out of my known area but kept me from completing my third since I didn't know the area at all and didn't want to wind up even further away.
I prefer uber because they are more consistent with there quest and the amount of rides. Right now lyft has a quest for $418 dollars but you have to give 120 rides to receive it, and it goes from Monday to Friday at 4a.m given that lyft isn't as busy as uber is I find that ridiculous and not obtainable. You would literally have to drive all day long and average about 30 rides each day
Automatic bait and switch with Lyft. Tip is to just turn off new requests after accepting a ride. Also, don't take any Lyft ride with a long pickup time else it will happen even more often.
I prefer Uber, too. It's busier, but also I can drop off a pax, do a Shop and Pay, pick up an UberEats and drop off a Connect package delivery (which are mostly alcohol). Then I can go back to picking up people. I find that I can do MORE, but with Lyft it's only pax pickups. Also, I do Cherry pick, so just because I've opted into everything means I accept everything.
Good info man. I haven't driven in a while just before covid but getting back into now and am seeing a lot of new changes. One thing I love that I didn't have was the up front pricing. I will b driving a suv and it's good to know if its worth picking a person up. Glad to know about the Lyft changing the destination all of a sudden that can be a problem. Again thanks for sharing and b safe by the way am in Florida.
Lol i kinda understand Lyft is trash in my market I know some guys that Lyft look like sly from first blood and I see Uber drivers looking like rocky 3 opening sense all happy lol 😆
On Lyft, you can scroll up and the price, plus pick up and drop off will be there. But I agree about the mid-switch. I wish Uber had that - when you accept a trip, the ride details should remain the entire time until drop off, which Lyft has
All of Lyft messages are one way. For there advantage. Lyft auctions the ride your going to pick up before you get there. Lyft destination will not get you off line if they can’t find you a ride, with in 10 minutes. There is more, but you get the point.
We are seeing that in Oklahoma City market now. That's awesome because you don't have to accept it if you don't want to. I accepted one the other day for $6 more than what my original ride was.
Jeremiah, exactly! And some crafty customers know how to take advantage of this. They change the drop-off point because they've probably had problems getting a ride to that location. (For example: going to San Francisco from Oakland during rush hour can be a nightmare for some drivers). So, they change their destination while they're in the car in the middle of the ride.
@@juniorrowejr9157 my friend was talking about that last night thankfully I don't run into it that often but he does way more than me I mainly get people who want to add an extra stop right after I click accept and usually it's way under priced for the additional stop so when the rides over I'm pissed so I don't bother anymore with multi stops
point #2 is a huge negative for me... I was so pissed when Uber went to one number for total distance. However, just this week they switched it back 😀. reporting from Austin.
OK here’s how to beat your auto switch every time you get a ride with Lyft go in and put last ride click on last ride when you get to your next ride go back online normal problems

Lyft seems to be busier lately in San Dieto But with Lyft I use more gas to make money The only thing I don’t like with Lyft is that I will get several rides then I will have a couple of hours that it dies
Ive had lyft for 2 years and it only gave me maybe 2 good days and now i can't even turn it on anymore. 1.All the offers are like 50 per mile in my market. 2. Ive been screwed on canceled fees for no show on pickup. 3. They want me to do NON EMERGENCY trips on regular base fairs. 4. Reservations are a joke a bunch of 3.00 rides 😅.
I am a new driver for Lyft and still need to complete my Uber application, however, this is my second month driving and Lyft so far has been the money maker for me out here in Dayton, Ohio. I’ve seen other drivers out here using Uber and Lyft and many prefer Lyft.
All markets are different absolutely but you can’t drive for $.62 a mile in any market and it’s on Lyft Uber pays $1.83 that’s a living wage you could do something with that but all markets are different. It’s a bait and switch with doing 200 rides in 72 hours. That’s ridiculous and dangerous but have a good one
Interesting. I've had the opposite experience lately. I've been driving for 7 years in the Portland OR area and I used to mostly drive Uber because the bonuses were better and more consistent. The last few months it's been the opposite though. Uber rarely has bonuses and when they do it's laughable, like do 60 rides for $35. Lyft has been consistent lately but the bonus requirements keep getting harder and for less money. One weekend they offered a bonus for doing 195 rides in 3 days, which is not even possible. I managed to complete one for 125 rides once but it took working over 45 hours in a 72 hour period. I agree about the ride switching. That feature had me yelling at my phone like a lunatic a few times. I eventually found an option in account settings to turn off auto accept which stopped the switching automatically. It still might give my ride to another driver but then I'll be able to either accept or reject the replacement ride. But we don't have the up front pricing here so the settings may have different options.
Cancel auto switch all together, here in Miami they cancellation fee is $2.00 😩 I’ve driving 8 minutes to a 10 minute pick and the passenger has canceled and I get nothing with Uber I would’ve gotten $4.20. I’ve also drove 3 minutes to a pick up waited 4:50 outta the 5 minutes before being able to cancel and started my trip 10 seconds later the Passenger cancels says she forgot her ID and doesn’t wanna make me wait and guess what I get nothing 🫠 I called Lyft they said I had to complete my ride or not start it if I’m not gonna be able to complete it 🥴 and what’s with the fact that we have to call the passenger to be able to cancel I’m not baby sitting here, you requested a ride it’s your responsibility to be aware of the ride. Uber was better but with this new quest goals they’re paying a lot less per side
I agree 100% . I've been approved twice now for Lyft but I never get around to turning on the app for two reasons 1. I'm always busy with Uber 2. All the horror stories I hear from other Lyft drivers
I drive in Philly. I do prefer Uber also. Lyft has giving me offers as low as $3.43 or something like that wheres from Uber I never get rides that are no lower than 5 bucks and change. Also seems Uber is busier than Lyft. Also I get tips much more often on Uber. About drive challenge - its ridiculous: Seems the more i drive the worse challenges I get. Make 40 rides I get, lets say $55. Next week same amount of rides i get half of that if not less. WTF? Isn't it suppose to motivate you or something? My acceptance is at 69, rating 4.97, rejection is at 6 on Uber platform. What I kinda like about Lyft is that there's option for scheduled rides to choose. Uber only periodically sends me notifications for reservations.
I’m torn between the 2. In my market I prefer Lyft due to upfront pricing. Uber doesn’t have upfront pricing in my market, so I never know where I’m going with them.
Since this new CEO took office on Lyft, the fares are dramatically lower now, I just to have days than I made more money driving for Lyft than Uber. Not anymore, the reservation fares are way better on Uber than Lyft here in SF Bay Area
I was "auto-switched" from a ride 2 miles away to one was going 60 miles, and was going to pay $56, it was 5 miles away. I was like oh HELL NO! cancel, go offline go to Uber! all my lyft riders say the same thing.. Lyft is cheaper than Uber.. I always say yeah it is because they dont pay us! I hate the lyft "limit taps". Fkng ridiculous .. I dont want to be controlled or instructed on how to use my phone! The super bonuses when Lyft does it, are good and I will do em even tho I am missing uber the whole time. Their app is a mess, it doesnt automatically change to dark mode. I have to do it manually. I hate this, its so frickin annoying!
I'm confused. How do you know it's a 60 mile ride? They keep all that info a secret when they auto-switch you. You literally have to drive 10-15 minutes to the passenger and start the auto-switched ride to find out where it is going. That is by design. Gryft gets a few more dollars for priority pickup, wasting your time, gas and life.
While I agree with his points I will no longer drive for Uber! They put more emphasis on passengers when they lie to get a free ride. I had an experience when Uber temporarily suspended my account with no reason given and when I called to ask what was going on they told me I had to talk to the safety team except they were not available because it was after hours so Ieft them a message which wasn't returned. I called every day and left a message only to find out 11 days after the temp suspension which is when they finally returned my call, that I was accused of asking someone foe sex which did NOT happen and had they told me this right away i would have had video of the ride. Now I save my videos every day, One thing to note is when the so called investigator called me back she had an attitude that i was guilty with out any evidence and would listen to me. After we talked she called me back and only then asked if I had a video of the ride, I said well if I had been told when the ride accrued or even the next day I would have still had the video. But they would not give me the exact ride as they said for privacy reasons, BS!! I was a Platinum driver for over 5 years with over 7500 lifetime rides and never had an incident against me! Oh and what recourse do we have with any rideshare company you ask??? Absolutely NONE!!! Read your TOS it spells it out, Arbitration is your only recourse but if they don't give you the Ride information how can you even recall what if anything happened during the ride. I now have over 2800 rides with Lyft.
You know Uber sends out two types of trips requests . right calculation upfront fare prices and wrong calculation upfront fare pricings and when you request review it's trip they single handedly denies then soon or later you no longer requast recalculation, adjustments , compensations, miscellaneous payment
But if Im in Tucson, AZ and lyft is approximately 65% of the passengers. top five reasons dont mean much. Also, in my market uber passengers are mostly students using their parents credit card for uber and feeling entitled. - no thanks!!! . Ill drive for Lyft where in over 6 years i receive 16% tips every month!!! When i drove for uber it was only 9%! every market is completely different i know!! why these videos are sometimes really only market specific!
P.S Ive been driving for Uber on and off for about 9 years and let me tell you not to give them too much praise because they will deactivate you in a heartbeat for little to no reason at all so be warned because it will happen eventually sooner or later that is a fact jack even if you are a high rated driver like myself. thought it couldn't happen to me but yes indeed it did.
I agree with you concerning Uber. I noticed that no one talks about how Uber takes away the upfront pricing information if you decline too many rides. You'll receive a notice that reads, "You've declined 5 of your last 10 rides, so you'll have to accept the next 5 in a row to see upfront pricing again." Regardless of how crappie they are! I drive out of Modesto, California (San Francisco market).
Lyft auto-switching is a direct violation of the independent contractor agreement. It's Lyft telling us to do a job, instead of suggesting us an offer.
The biggest difference to me is that, ignoring all the bonus schemes, uber's base pay is better than lyft's base pay. I'm not going to be led around by a ring in my nose trying to jump through a gig-app's hoops to hit a bonus. Not gonna do it. If a ride isn't worth it, standing alone on its base pay, I'm not taking it. "Bonuses" are supposed to be "icing" in the cake, not the cake. Also, on the topic of bonuses, uber generally is way more consistent than lyft. lyft seems totally random, from bonuses that are actually very very tempting, to insulting, to just nothing at all. And if there's a pattern, I haven't been able to figure it out. Second, in my market, during the times I drive, uber is busier than lyft. So for less downtime and better base pay, I rarely turn the lyft app. The one single area where I find lyft superior to uber, is their destination filter. When I'm actually trying to get somewhere and I'd much rather have a paying rider than deadhead, lyft destination filter matches are far far far superior to uber destination filter matches.
Lyft surge is almost extinct. You gotta do a shit ton of money losing short rides in order to get the ride challenge money. Plus you only get 4 days to complete back to back $2.62 minimum fare rides. I think this might be an IQ test.
@@wakeywakey8603 In my market (Tampa Bay) surge is all but extinct on both uber & lyft. On the very localized and rare times there is surge, uber has gone to that "no dollar amount" generic icon and then play games with the base fare. lyft at least still shows a specific dollar amount. But the only times I even turn lyft on are when I'm fishing for destination filter ride that actually gets me towards the destination. uber's df is a joke and even when you have it set, uber floods you with "trip radar" pings literally going in the opposite direction. lyft's df filter actually gives you rides legitimately towards your destination. Ignoring bonus schemes, uber's upfront base pay offers seem to run in the range of 15%-20% better than lyft's upfront pay offers for similar time & miles. And when it comes to weekly "quest" style bonus offer, uber is more or less somewhat consistent. lyft is all over the board, from literally no bonus offer at all, to insulting bonus offers, to an occasional attractive bonus offer.
As a company, Lyft is hanging by a thread. Some of the decisions they've made lately are head-scratching. The removed lux as an option, totally screwing drivers who have nice cars that aren't black.
I'll tell you why Lyft is better than Uber. With Uber you cannot defend yourself from any false accusation Lyft has a dedicated team to do such a thing and if you register your camera with them you're not allowed to use your data to defend yourself against those false accusations cuz in the contract that you signed and you didn't read it says you can't do that
If you want to lose your money, take a lift. My husband and I's experience this week is losing 80 dollars when a driver lied and took damage from us and Lyft didn't pay attention to our words at all and easily took this amount from our account. It's hard for a newcomer to earn 80 dollars in canda and then a driver take it with a lie and Lyft supports this lie. I hope God will answer their work because it is not fair for me
Actually Uber does auto switched n ghost riding lol. ..I seen that today😂😂😂😂..not here in lndianapolis they offering $3 rides. ..I rather pick up 4 people off of a bus stop paying $4each at this point and Uber puts you into time out if you don't accept 1 of those three $3 rides...
yo, i've literally driven 21000+ rides for lyft. they ARE horrible! i tried to be supportive. They preached to care about drivers more but they're TRASH. Im making 1.4X's teh money with uber. They're less "woke". My passengers are better.. i wish i switched years ago but i was trying to be loyal because i really wanted to believe in them. At the end of the day, Lyft is driven by IMAGE of being a better company no matter how many pax and drivers they have to hurt and step on to be perceived that way. all good. find out for yourself.
I disagree with you a 100% Im here in California and lyft overall pays more plus Uber is way quicker to deactivate you in a heartbeat and i have a 4.93 rating with Uber so you wont be saying that when they deactivate your A$$
I am getting very very bad trips with low rated riders and very low fare teip requests from Uber. They make it thirsty for goid trips... Then boom ! All of sudden they gives you goid high prices trip . But wait... 😏🤔 If you accept that teip and completes it you'll see. Its still so cheaoer than what it should be. 😕👎 And you try to get review your trip ... Then Boom ! Your account gets flagged for no more adjustment requests, no more compensation, no more miscellaneous payment whats so ever. They accuses you that you are misusing its app mumbo jumbo reasons to completely block you from support agents 😂👎 UBER IS DICTATOR . UBER IS N.Korea . Ubef is China , Russia . They tweeking its system and sends you no money to be made trips then hook you with even more less money seems good looka like trips to destroy your account.
Think Uber should buy out Lyft . I'm for streaks with Lyft one week they there . Next week gone . One day streak there plan day go back app streak gone . Hellocopter flash tell me use perm.mount Got It . I have 2 mounts in car but at times sun shines ok got move it . Also they used tell log out cancels . Now never take customer off line and get slow pick up You Got It the You got it not nessary . Also its like smart A to driver . You get ride go asap you still get ding . At times thow a ride in no acceptance that unexceptable y have cancel. Go against you ..All shady my book

Lyft 100 percent Garage no wonder the stock is at $11
Lyft likes to auto add rides while your already driving someone in the car to drop off
Auto switch is nerve recking but Lyft is better in my Milwaukee market and busier here than Uber
Northside ride all day. But you get better rides with Uber.

About drive challenge - its ridiculous: Seems the more i drive the worse challenges I get.
Make 40 rides I get, lets say $55. Next week same amount of rides i get half of that if not less. WTF? Isn't it suppose to motivate you or something? My acceptance is at 69, rating 4.97, rejection is at 6 on Uber platform.
What I kinda like about Lyft is that there's option for scheduled rides to choose. Uber only periodically sends me notifications for reservations.
I’m torn between the 2. In my market I prefer Lyft due to upfront pricing. Uber doesn’t have upfront pricing in my market, so I never know where I’m going with them.
Most NYC drivers prefer Lyft, especially now.
Since this new CEO took office on Lyft, the fares are dramatically lower now, I just to have days than I made more money driving for Lyft than Uber. Not anymore, the reservation fares are way better on Uber than Lyft here in SF Bay Area
In the uber app do you try to only drive when it shows $$$$, or do you find success with $$$, or do you ignore that all together?
I was "auto-switched" from a ride 2 miles away to one was going 60 miles, and was going to pay $56, it was 5 miles away. I was like oh HELL NO! cancel, go offline go to Uber! all my lyft riders say the same thing.. Lyft is cheaper than Uber.. I always say yeah it is because they dont pay us! I hate the lyft "limit taps". Fkng ridiculous .. I dont want to be controlled or instructed on how to use my phone! The super bonuses when Lyft does it, are good and I will do em even tho I am missing uber the whole time. Their app is a mess, it doesnt automatically change to dark mode. I have to do it manually. I hate this, its so frickin annoying!
I'm confused. How do you know it's a 60 mile ride? They keep all that info a secret when they auto-switch you. You literally have to drive 10-15 minutes to the passenger and start the auto-switched ride to find out where it is going. That is by design. Gryft gets a few more dollars for priority pickup, wasting your time, gas and life.
How about lyft airport drop off they slip in a ride while your getting luggage or they just silently add a ride for you?
While I agree with his points I will no longer drive for Uber! They put more emphasis on passengers when they lie to get a free ride. I had an experience when Uber temporarily suspended my account with no reason given and when I called to ask what was going on they told me I had to talk to the safety team except they were not available because it was after hours so Ieft them a message which wasn't returned. I called every day and left a message only to find out 11 days after the temp suspension which is when they finally returned my call, that I was accused of asking someone foe sex which did NOT happen and had they told me this right away i would have had video of the ride. Now I save my videos every day, One thing to note is when the so called investigator called me back she had an attitude that i was guilty with out any evidence and would listen to me. After we talked she called me back and only then asked if I had a video of the ride, I said well if I had been told when the ride accrued or even the next day I would have still had the video. But they would not give me the exact ride as they said for privacy reasons, BS!! I was a Platinum driver for over 5 years with over 7500 lifetime rides and never had an incident against me! Oh and what recourse do we have with any rideshare company you ask??? Absolutely NONE!!! Read your TOS it spells it out, Arbitration is your only recourse but if they don't give you the Ride information how can you even recall what if anything happened during the ride. I now have over 2800 rides with Lyft.
Always opt-out of arbitration... The TOS tells you how... Always opt-out again with every new TOS and save those emails!
You know Uber sends out two types of trips requests . right calculation upfront fare prices and wrong calculation upfront fare pricings and when you request review it's trip they single handedly denies then soon or later you no longer requast recalculation, adjustments , compensations, miscellaneous payment
uber was just bullying you
You’re gonna love this I get $24.05 on a cancellation fee if your rider schedules how about that maybe I’m special pick up Luanda
Made $800 in 2 days worked 11.5 hours and used $60 in gas with LYFT! I'm not complaining. 👍
What city are you in damn
Auto switch is gone with Lyft. No more auto switch on Lyft..
F*** Lyft. Too little too late.
Tell it
In the Phoenix area market, Lyft is better than Uber for driver 💯
But if Im in Tucson, AZ and lyft is approximately 65% of the passengers. top five reasons dont mean much. Also, in my market uber passengers are mostly students using their parents credit card for uber and feeling entitled. - no thanks!!! . Ill drive for Lyft where in over 6 years i receive 16% tips every month!!! When i drove for uber it was only 9%! every market is completely different i know!! why these videos are sometimes really only market specific!
P.S Ive been driving for Uber on and off for about 9 years and let me tell you not to give them too much praise because they will deactivate you in a heartbeat for little to no reason at all so be warned because it will happen eventually sooner or later that is a fact jack even if you are a high rated driver like myself. thought it couldn't happen to me but yes indeed it did.
I agree with you concerning Uber. I noticed that no one talks about how Uber takes away the upfront pricing information if you decline too many rides. You'll receive a notice that reads, "You've declined 5 of your last 10 rides, so you'll have to accept the next 5 in a row to see upfront pricing again." Regardless of how crappie they are! I drive out of Modesto, California (San Francisco market).
Lyft auto-switching is a direct violation of the independent contractor agreement. It's Lyft telling us to do a job, instead of suggesting us an offer.
The biggest difference to me is that, ignoring all the bonus schemes, uber's base pay is better than lyft's base pay. I'm not going to be led around by a ring in my nose trying to jump through a gig-app's hoops to hit a bonus. Not gonna do it. If a ride isn't worth it, standing alone on its base pay, I'm not taking it. "Bonuses" are supposed to be "icing" in the cake, not the cake. Also, on the topic of bonuses, uber generally is way more consistent than lyft. lyft seems totally random, from bonuses that are actually very very tempting, to insulting, to just nothing at all. And if there's a pattern, I haven't been able to figure it out.
Second, in my market, during the times I drive, uber is busier than lyft. So for less downtime and better base pay, I rarely turn the lyft app.
The one single area where I find lyft superior to uber, is their destination filter. When I'm actually trying to get somewhere and I'd much rather have a paying rider than deadhead, lyft destination filter matches are far far far superior to uber destination filter matches.
Lyft surge is almost extinct. You gotta do a shit ton of money losing short rides in order to get the ride challenge money. Plus you only get 4 days to complete back to back $2.62 minimum fare rides. I think this might be an IQ test.
@@wakeywakey8603 In my market (Tampa Bay) surge is all but extinct on both uber & lyft. On the very localized and rare times there is surge, uber has gone to that "no dollar amount" generic icon and then play games with the base fare. lyft at least still shows a specific dollar amount.
But the only times I even turn lyft on are when I'm fishing for destination filter ride that actually gets me towards the destination. uber's df is a joke and even when you have it set, uber floods you with "trip radar" pings literally going in the opposite direction. lyft's df filter actually gives you rides legitimately towards your destination.
Ignoring bonus schemes, uber's upfront base pay offers seem to run in the range of 15%-20% better than lyft's upfront pay offers for similar time & miles.
And when it comes to weekly "quest" style bonus offer, uber is more or less somewhat consistent. lyft is all over the board, from literally no bonus offer at all, to insulting bonus offers, to an occasional attractive bonus offer.
Finally someone saying in my market .
Lyft has been a lot busier for me and i prefer it honestly. I feel like Uber passengers are the worst. Lyft is doing great things in LA
Ok, I thought I was just crazy, but Lyft passengers are nicer and better tippers. Uber passengers are the worst. I agree.
I have PTSD with Lyft switching trip twitchings. 😂 And I have PTSD with UBER on miscalculated Upfront fare pricing and we just gatta suck it b. s . 😂
On switched rides, they are not giving enough info. So I'll just decline.
"many apples in st paul" reads the caption lol
If YOU are not happy w Lyft, they really need to make a change.
I hate the Switch!!!! I cancel those rides 95% of the time
As a company, Lyft is hanging by a thread. Some of the decisions they've made lately are head-scratching. The removed lux as an option, totally screwing drivers who have nice cars that aren't black.
Lyft is not switching rides anymore in Minneapolis. Your info is outdated.
Lyft is stronger rn. Not able to work for Uber.
I love your beard. Your cute~
Like Coke and Pepsi…..they’re the same
I'll tell you why Lyft is better than Uber. With Uber you cannot defend yourself from any false accusation Lyft has a dedicated team to do such a thing and if you register your camera with them you're not allowed to use your data to defend yourself against those false accusations cuz in the contract that you signed and you didn't read it says you can't do that
Guess I'll stick woth uber and not even start anything with Lyft lol
If you want to lose your money, take a lift. My husband and I's experience this week is losing 80 dollars when a driver lied and took damage from us and Lyft didn't pay attention to our words at all and easily took this amount from our account. It's hard for a newcomer to earn 80 dollars in canda and then a driver take it with a lie and Lyft supports this lie. I hope God will answer their work because it is not fair for me
Actually Uber does auto switched n ghost riding lol. ..I seen that today😂😂😂😂..not here in lndianapolis they offering $3 rides. ..I rather pick up 4 people off of a bus stop paying $4each at this point and Uber puts you into time out if you don't accept 1 of those three $3 rides...
This promotion is paid by Uber Technologies Inc.
If you have pts you shouldn't be driving
They se people making money encouraging you to drive for lyft and Uber but driving dies not make money ay a youtube channel
Uber is way better than Lyft
Both Uber and lyft are terrible companies. You don't make much and When you count up the gasIt's not worth it
yo, i've literally driven 21000+ rides for lyft. they ARE horrible! i tried to be supportive. They preached to care about drivers more but they're TRASH. Im making 1.4X's teh money with uber. They're less "woke". My passengers are better.. i wish i switched years ago but i was trying to be loyal because i really wanted to believe in them. At the end of the day, Lyft is driven by IMAGE of being a better company no matter how many pax and drivers they have to hurt and step on to be perceived that way.
all good. find out for yourself.
👍👍👍对对对
I disagree with you a 100% Im here in California and lyft overall pays more plus Uber is way quicker to deactivate you in a heartbeat and i have a 4.93 rating with Uber so you wont be saying that when they deactivate your A$$
The worst app features of all time auto switch
I am getting very very bad trips with low rated riders and very low fare teip requests from Uber. They make it thirsty for goid trips... Then boom ! All of sudden they gives you goid high prices trip . But wait... 😏🤔 If you accept that teip and completes it you'll see. Its still so cheaoer than what it should be. 😕👎
And you try to get review your trip ... Then Boom ! Your account gets flagged for no more adjustment requests, no more compensation, no more miscellaneous payment whats so ever. They accuses you that you are misusing its app mumbo jumbo reasons to completely block you from support agents 😂👎 UBER IS DICTATOR . UBER IS N.Korea . Ubef is China , Russia . They tweeking its system and sends you no money to be made trips then hook you with even more less money seems good looka like trips to destroy your account.
Lyft is dead
