Last week in Part I, I wrote about the difference between Uber and Lyft’s pay structure when it comes to Uber’s Penny Surge (Flat Rate Surge) and Lyft’s PPZ (Personal Power Zones).

From driving people to work, to the airport and occasionally picking up inebriated passengers, I have seen and done it all when it comes to rideshare.
