I apparently failed to finish my second ride (MacKensey) in the proper manner. Thus I didn’t get credit for it.

Great

Super Gratefull

Lyft has done so much for my family and I. Such a wonderful company to work for. Super blessed to be part of the team .

Not worthy to work with Lyft

Their price is cheaper than cost off expenses and they never remind driver’s time, tear and wear in car, mileage increases in car, insurance maintenance and risk the drivers on the road. They couldn’t offer XL rides also price wise there is no differences between the standard Lyft, comfort and XL. They don’t care if you roll 20 mile away from turbo zones and the payment still same. In Uber I was made 450$ per night during 12 hours driving time but with them even I can’t made 60$ after my fuel cost.
At the ends of the year drivers paying taxes and always in loss situations because they have an AI platform according to their factors but the real factors for drivers and pricing cost is I describe above.
When you face no show riders they just pay 3$ for cancellation and they don’t have the logic to understand about the drivers time lost and the opportunity that drive misses cause of ride.
I will never work with this organization any more.
