Then you are forced to not accept or cancel the ride hurting driver stats. With gas prices, they will give a pickup over 15 to 20 minutes away for a 5 min ride, and you only get paid for the 5 min ride. They also post a ride bonus area and when you approach the zone they make the bonus zone disappear or reduce bonus amount. Then lyft themselves cancels the ride causing you to miss the new bonus window. They often give two rides for a streak bonus and then give the final of three rides right as a new bonus period is expiring. Lyft has found a way to lower pay on rides while using reporting data to avoid paying bonuses in some scenarios.

Also, the company needs to update and fix the bugs on - more. Lyft needs to apply designated pickup spots to make drivers' lives a lot easier. Most of the time your rider is on the opposite side of where the app takes you. This includes double parking and intersection corners.

Riders need to realize that drivers can't just stop anywhere to pick them up. A lot of the pickup spots depending on the location, and people will expect you to come even risking breaking traffic laws. Some will leave trash in your car which is completely rude and disgusting for grown adults. I have to constantly ask people to not slam my doors. Unfortunately, there are always those certain types of people who are rude beyond comprehension. I'm grateful there's a Lyft office that gives drivers discounted rates on car services, sometimes free. Doing this does put a lot of wear and tear on your personal car so be prepared to spend a little more money maintaining it. Weekend bar hopping late night rides you can make a good amount of money depending on how far you're willing to go. Airport rides pay more but it's a lot of long-distance driving. You're not required to accept every single ride but the app will keep reminding you to not miss too many requests. If you're lucky, your passengers will often tip. Sometimes those bonuses come at inconvenient times during morning and afternoon rush hour. Yes, you can go on your time so that's a huge plus.

The bonus areas give your earnings the boost you need for more money. Driving for Lyft has helped me financially wise when needed during these questionable economic times.
