### 5/5 — great driver

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

quiet, good driver, I recommend

### 1/5 — Search of drivers

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

I’ve waited over 10 mins for a potential driver, 3 of them was selected to pick me up and the 3 of them never came, some how they were not available anymore. I do not recommend if you are supposed to be somewhere in time.

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

He is a good driver very respectful and polite I will personally recommend him to anyone

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

I don’t use Lyft, only in emergencies. I order two rides one in the morning one in the afternoon. The one in the afternoon I canceled two mins after making it, because I ended up getting a ride. This was on Monday it is now Wednesday and there is still a hold on my account which now has my account in the NEGATIVE! How?

### 4/5 — Good prices

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

They have good prices better than uber and drivers are quick!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

Best Drivers who always greet with a smile and ensure their passengers safety.

### 1/5 — Issues

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

Impossible to talk with a real person. Had issues with drivers accepting the ride but going FARTHER from the pick up point and just stopped somewhere, showing no intentions of going to pick up point. I cancelled because I don’t know how long I’m going to wait and I had somewhere to be. Yet I was charged for cancellation fee because the driver was “inconvenienced”. What a joke of a system

### 1/5 — The worse app

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

This is the worse app ever if you have emergency and need to be somewhere by a certain time never use it because they will take years to get you someone and always ask for more for faster service. They change the payments so fast like it might be 5 one minute ago but 22 the next minute.

### 5/5 — World’s greatest driver

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

I have taken hundreds of Lyft and Uber rides and by far this was the greatest

### 4/5 — Policy for drivers

*2026-08-26, version 2026.32.3*

LYFT has a definite advantage over Uber when it comes to their app as it will allow you to favorite drivers you like and block drivers you don’t. It also has a place where you can write a note to the driver. It should be a policy that drivers read the notes before accepting the request. I can’t be the only person who takes LYFT who needs to ride up front because I get carsick in back. I have to take rides to a medical treatment and I get so stressed worrying about whether or not my driver will allow me up front or if I’m going to have to get another driver (then go through the same thing g again), my blood pressure is often high when I get to my appointment and it delays the start of my treatment. A policy requiring drivers to read notes before accepting a request seems a simple, logical thing to do. Notes to drivers do no good if drivers don’t read them and since there is a place for it, riders might reasonably expect the note has been read and the driver is okay with the request. Drivers should not show up to pick me up and motion to the backseat. It’s ridiculous.
