Pros

Meet new people and places.

Cons
  1. Lyft takes extra out of each ride completed. On top of that, they charge an additional 20-25%.

  2. They control who you get and how much you make per hour.

  3. They don't give drivers the exact tip amount when passengers show how much they tip you. They pocket your tips.

  4. Bonuses are not really a bonus. It's the drivers' own money that Lyft takes extra when they cheat drivers out of their money.

  5. They manipulate your ratings.

  6. After showing proof of everything, they stop responding to your messages.

  7. The app doesn't show exact high demand on the map when comparing to other drivers' apps. Lyft manipulates high demand ratios individually.

  8. Complain, and they will give you fewer rides with customers with lower ratings until you either quit or get booted off the app.

Advice to Management

Stop trying to be greedy and let the hard-working people profit. Stop trying to control what people make per hour.
