Lyfts AI thinks I tried to make a false claim. This is a load of crap. So no claim for having to clean up this crap…. Think I’ll stop driving ride share because of this.

Its weird. Girl asked to take picture with me and it made me really uncomfortable. Idk you. Shit Caught me off guard. I had to force a smile and throw a peace sign like an idiot. I'm only being nice to you bc I'm working.

Next time I'm telling whoever ask no.

So this is a new one: it never logged me off so somehow I was online just idle while I was sleeping, all morning, all afternoon, until I logged on at 5pm today.

This thing will kick you off if you flip to another app, if ypuwaiting too long in the airport cue, or if you ignore more that theee requests.

But somehow, I committed the MIRACLE of staying online 10+ hours straight?

I hope Pope Leo reads this post.

So I had a guy in the car, I've taken him a few times so it's normally more chilled as we've gotten comfortable with each other, you know the type, a modest tip, normal passenger, isn't gonna narc on you if a "shit" slips out in conversation, etc. So anyway, I'm driving along and the next one pops up, with a 4.0. I laughed out loud which prompted him to ask about it, so I explained it was a 4.0 rated rider as he leaned over and looked. He was like "Out of 10?" I'm like "No, out of 5", to which he replies "4 out of 5 isn't bad... wait, you guys rate us too?!" LMAO. So I explain that yes after every trip riders get rated by their drivers as well.

He asked what ratings I do I said 4.9 and 5.0, MAYBE a 4.8 if it's slow and the pay is okay. He panicked and asked what his rating was, I told him I thought it was 5.0 but he could check on his profile, which he did FAST, then audibly sighed with relief when he had 5.0 stars. Dude it's not THAT serious, lol.

Either way, it's funny some people don't know we also rate them. Perhaps that is how these people get ratings that low instead and sit there wondering what's taking so long to find a ride instead of adjusting their behavior. 4.0 is insane and the lowest I've seen on the app.

Instead they keep it vauge and confusing so much of this app is so confusing biggest one is probably priority mode anyone that doesnt look close gets tricked into getting payed less it’s probably foreigners they are aiming to confuse with these tactics because some things they do just doesnt make sense at all

Not too sure why... But how long before I get suspended or banned?

Looking at upcoming events this weekend and Lyft apparently doesn’t know that Cleveland eliminated the Sox 5 days ago.

That should be rated by costomers not the app doing it automatically, i have trying to make the rate go up and nothing works , besides the app NEVER works well on my phone how they are able to track my driving right ?

This reservation request is downright lunacy!

By the time I drive down, pick up the passenger, drive to the destination, then back to starting point, it's basically $0.30 a mile or $17 an hour!?

You know the ones- the ones where a third party has scheduled the ride for a patient, usually elderly and disabled to some extent. Yesterday I was sent to the wrong pick up spot on 3 different rides like this. One of them was with a man who could not speak clearly- he had the worst mush mouth/slurred words I’ve ever heard and the pick up spot was 3 blocks from where the app sent me. I was lucky that I actually had the customer’s number to call but I could not understand what he was saying to get to the right spot. I finally understood the word hospital and went to the main entrance on the off chance that’s where he was. And then they had had the wrong drop off address as well! At least then he was in my car and could just point the right way, but JFC! Whatever organization is booking these rides needs to get their shit together. It wasn’t the pax fault- he obviously had serious health issues and has had a stroke or something.

Nearly a month ago i told everyone i had been placed on hold but didn't know why. I eventually tried to log in and it let me in with the message: "we're reviewing your information on the allegation of driving Under the influence. You will receive an email to respond to in the near future. We know how valuable your time is".

It was the day after i had worked 12 hours at my real job- elem teacher and then driven home to wash dishes while waiting on a good ride to pop up.

Finally today, after not hearing a word in a month i decided to send a message on the help page. They reactivated my account without even asking my side of the story.

That means they took about $2,500 out of my pocket without even caring for the facts.

New driver here, is there anyway to return property left in your car? Passenger left a somewhat valuable item in my car, and I’m not even sure which passenger to return it to !! I would like to return it

For context, I run Android Auto via AA Wireless, and route navigation to Google Maps instead of Lyft's garbage navigation. This gives you live navigation on the car screen, and the Lyft overview map on your phone. For me, Google's GPS is accurate, while Lyft's map lags behind and I'll be past the pin before it say I'm there.

When I started, they actually had the Arrive button and shit built into Google Maps, which was nice. Then that button started getting fucky, and would work when it wanted to, leading me to use the phone for the buttons, no big deal. Then, the buttons in Google disappeared, which again was no big deal, I was already acclimated to using the buttons on the phone, which is still how I run.

This method will provide you better navigation, WHEN it works. Because with Lyft's stupid ass system, they take the pickup address, convert it into coordinates and then drop the pin there, and those coordinates are what it sends to Google, which sometimes is just like "TF is this?" and flakes out. How hard is it to just copy paste the address clearly displayed in the Lyft app into fuckin Google? Because of this, I also get a stupid ass pin in the middle of the street instead of it going to the side the house is on half the time.

But now, they've hampered it even more. You see, up until 2 app updates ago, the overview map on the phone while in this mode had the yellow pin for the passenger, now it's gone. It seems when you route the navigation to Google now, it no longer shows it by default. So now I have no idea where they may be, so I just go to the pickup pin and wait. I've had a few people start to complain about it, but I just explain the situation nicely while pointing to the phone like "Hey I'm sorry, they stopped showing where you are on the map" and if applicable I'll even politely backhand them with a "and there's no profile picture so I had no face to match up to look for you".

The weird part of all of this, I've had the pin show up TWICE since then. Both times it was passengers coming in on the Metra train, and both times they texted me with the "didn't know you'd be there so fast, I'm coming in on the next train!" (I always figure ahead of time and don't no show trains unless trains are delayed). Both times, the little yellow guy came teleporting in along the train tracks on the map. I've had others text before coming out since without and pin showing up.

If I run Lyft's shitty map through Android Auto instead of Google on the car screen, the yellow people show up still.

'I am too old to fight. Need some protection.

Hello everyone, I'm posting on behalf of a friend who is in marketing in a tech company.

For a marketing campaign, he is looking to recruit 5-10 Uber/Lyft drivers who drive tesla in San Francisco, California.

They will require to carry the company's branding (who's cost will be covered by the company).

The pay will be reasonable (~$500/month) for very little time/effort and no cost on their end.

If you are one such person or know someone, can you please send them this post and ask them to drop a comment here?

I or my friend will reach out.

This is a genuine opportunity and not messing around, and before any kind of transactions, verification will happen in person in San Francisco city.

Thank you and appreciate it.

I’ll start by saying I’m a retired Veteran living in South Texas. Inflation and rising costs have caused me to look for part time work. I’ve driven for Lyft before but that was years ago. How is it driving for Lyft in 2026? The thing I liked most about Lyft was that you work when you want and you answer to no one. Thinking about buying a used Toyota Corolla SE to drive. What’re your thoughts?

Hey y'all, just wanted to put out a massive warning for anyone driving in SF or anywhere with multiple bridge crossings. Lyft has a sneaky new "rule" and they are actively robbing us on tolls.
I just had a shift where I crossed the bridge multiple times with an actual customer in my back seat each time. When I checked my earnings, they only reimbursed me for one single outbound toll.
I spent hours fighting support, escalated it all the way up to supervisors and managers, and they flat-out told me: This is their new policy. They said Lyft's new rules dictate they will only pay one outbound toll per day, period—even if you have a paying passenger in your car for the subsequent crossings.

So basically, if you take a second or third passenger across a bridge, lyft just pays you one time.
Check your earnings statements carefully, guys. This is completely unacceptable. Anyone else running into this new "one toll rule" yet?
