  Are there really that many drivers who have over 10,000 trips on Lyft? Considering high turnover of rideshare drivers, I have a hard time believing there are that many.

  I am referring to how Lyft is giving stock options to those drivers who have more than 10,000 trips.Not …

   5 years ago in  Dead Leg Compensation

  If the dead leg is such a huge issue, Uber themselves should resolve it somehow.

  I do get it how it's all fluid. If the driver reaches a destination, he could potentially find another customer there and potentially even bring him back to the original location. In that case, no additional compensation is necessary.  However, if the driver HAS to take the dead leg home, I feel like some kind of comp is appropriate.

  What if we have Uber pay the ride back to the driver's home base, i.e. home?

   5 years ago in  Dead Leg Compensation

  Are you saying the driver should be able to dictate or adjust the price depending on the length of the trip?  or for extra work that had to be performed or additional cost incurred?

  That's an interesting idea. A little negotiation, and the driver types in a new figure. I mean we've been doing that with limos all the time. Uber is just responsible for connecting the two parties and they let the driver-rider take care of it.

  I don't think it has to be for every ride, but perhaps a way for the driver to override the price is fantastic idea.

   5 years ago in  What is a polite way to ask an Uber or Lyft driver to stop talking? I do not always want a conversation.

  I am not a driver, but I feel like there is a tacit understanding that the drivers don't really speak unless spoken to?  Or most prefer to not talk, so they make a small small talk in the beginning but when the riders are quiet, drivers also remain quiet.

  So basically, they do what you want to do.  Hopefully they can read the room and catch it when the driver doesn't feel like talking.
