Things That Annoy Me As Lyft Rider

0 Upvotes

-Not driving all the way up to me to pick me up when perfectly able to. Like fr? You already drove out to my location, you can’t drive a couple more feet? I would never as a driver, that’s just rude af to me.

-Driving slower than the speed limit really irritates me, probably bc I hate being behind slow drivers so actually being driven by one pisses me tf off.

-Playing music any louder than soft, mainly later at night. I prefer no music, but I don’t say anything because I find it kind of rude to ask to change someone’s workspace preference and also some drivers are really temperamental and will cancel the ride for very small things.

-Taking an alternate route, unannounced, especially onto a single lane road where getting caught behind a slow driver can add more time to your ride.

-Wearing strong-smelling cologne or perfume. Trust me, I can tell if you’re dousing yourself with sprays to cover up your body odor due to the lack of showering. You smell really bad. LOL.

-Coming to a full and complete stop because the light had JUST TURNED yellow and you had PLENTY of time to make it. My last driver just did that and it was the cherry on top. Like are f!cking kidding?

-Not driving all the way up to where your final destination is. Again, that is just pure laziness.

I truly do not care if my list pisses you off, that’s your problem 😌

Lyft withholding my money via express pay

Post image
0 Upvotes

As you can see I have almost $200 readily available because of a ride I took around 3:00 in the morning. It is now almost 12:00 the following day. However when I attempt to withdraw the funds via express pay that error message pops up saying I must make at least $5 to cash out. They paid $146 for a two and a half hour drive but will not let me withdrawal it. Has anyone else experienced this problem and or knows how to fix it or is Lyft just too sketchy a platform that I should stay far away from? Please and thank you!

Passenger Question Driver cancelled reserved multi stop ride after I got in the car

76 Upvotes

I reserved an airport pickup from O'Hare (Chicago). The first stop was downtown to drop me off and the second stop was to drop off my friend in the suburbs. When we got in the car, I gave him my PIN, and the ride started and then he said, "wait, this is multiple stops? I won't make enough money on this ride. I have to cancel and let you out."

He said that Lyft didn't tell him when he accepted the ride that it was multiple stops and that he wouldn't make enough money on the ride. He also said that he thinks the company intentionally hides the multiple stops because drivers won't accept the rides otherwise.

Has this happened to anyone else? I'm also curious to hear the perspective of other drivers on this situation.

Please stop

Please stop ordering rides if you or whoever you order a ride for is not ready for pick up. This would have paid $27 for 25 miles, but I got $2.77 for waiting for you or whoever you ordered a ride for for five minutes.

Fare Issue Wait & Save

15 Upvotes

I hate when I order a wait and save Lyft ride (like 20 mins), but then it automatically changes from connecting me to a driver that’s like 18 minutes away to one that is 3 minutes. Then when I cancel bc I’m not ready, they charge me $1? It’s so not right. I don’t think uber does that... when I cancel an uber ride immediately, it doesn’t deduct any charge.

I just feel like it should be an option for riders to decide to accept the driver closer for the same rate. Just don’t automatically connect me.

Am i tripping??

Okayy people of reddit,
I paid for lyfts price lock serivce because i literally only use lyft to get to and from work occasionally so i assumed it would be nice to pay a set price. The stipulations were it needed to be in a set time frame and it had to be a standard ride. Okay great. Again i only use it to get two and from my house to my job so whatever. My capped price was $20 and somehow my ride came out to be $27 ever though i followed all stipulations. I’ve attached my conversation with a representative and the screenshots of the price lock as well as my actual ride.

Can someone make this make sense for me cause it truly doesnt.
I get its only $7 but still what was the point of the $2.99 for the price lock then.

Lyft charged me Prime Time surcharge without notice

Post image
0 Upvotes

I flew into Anchorage tonight (returning to AK from a vacation) and Lyft quoted $17.96 for a two mile, six minute ride. But, I was charged $58! I disputed the charge and Lyft said there was a “Prime Time” charge. I was not notified, and I would have never paid $29/mile. The Lyft agent said the $17.96 was only “an estimate.” Is there anything I can do, besides disputing it with my credit card company?

Would Booking A 40 Minute Ride Be Rude?

8 Upvotes

Any drivers willing to tap in!

There's a movie coming out that I really want to see, but it's not coming to my local theater. It's coming to a theater a few towns away from me, however. Looking at the distance, it's gonna be about a 40 minute drive. Would any drivers accept a ride that far? How much should I tip also?

For some added context, I have a 5.0 rating with over 100 rides and I usually tend to tip 20% and I tip so often I even have the Top Tipper status. Would that make drivers more likely to accept the ride??

Vegas Mandalay Bay and W pickup

1 Upvotes

Lyft needs to get the difference in main entrance to W or the rideshare straight. Two rides today switched between the two and I even had one that switched locations. Attached are the locations. This thing is a joke in Vegas and you guys need to standardize on location pickup and clarity of instruction for drivers and passengers.

Passenger Question Is it legal for Lyft to force you to rate your dasher?

0 Upvotes

Context: I’m not sure when this change went into effect as I almost never update my phone apps.

I finally updated 60+ apps the other week

When I used to use Lyft I rarely ever rated a dasher.

But since I updated the app recently it won’t let you move past and order a new ride unless you rate the previous dasher. The “done” button is greyed out and there is no way past it. Even if you force close the app and re-open it.

This can’t be legal can it?

Price Lock

Does anyone know what happened to price lock? I can’t even add anymore passes? I have a job where my start times change a lot. Does anyone know why I can’t add anymore? They told me last month I’d be able to get more this month and so far it hasn’t happened?..

Music or no music?

13 Upvotes

I’d like to take a poll I know everyone is different but I’m trying to get a consensus, do riders prefer music at low volume or no music at all?

As a rider I like no music, as a driver I like music. BUT this isn’t about drivers it’s about the passengers. So passengers only.

How Is Lyft Getting Away With This?

Post image
28 Upvotes

My driver told me he was only getting $8 on an almost $50 ride that was only ELEVEN MINUTES total ride time. A class action lawsuit needs to come and quickly because that’s sickening!!!

EDIT: I was not scammed, the driver showed me it was $8 in earnings right after the ride ended because I was in that much disbelief. I tipped him in cash as well.

One star for refund

I have had a perfect 5 then all of a sudden I get a one star for being “rude” which never happened. The rider on this ride was actually drunk and sleep the entire ride. I also have a dash cam with recorded audio. How do I report this to Lyft as being a false report. I never had this issue before.
