DriverPlease, everyone! Be thoughtful to other drivers! It's difficult to do sometimes, but keep in mind that the driver who just made a bad move really didn't mean to offend you personally, and remember that it'll be YOU in that situation at some time. I really think that's why the Uber and Lyft drivers are better at the airport than the general public. They understand that they'll soon be in a position where they are the one who needs a little courtesy and understanding from some stranger/driver.
my rating after 557 lyft rides is 4.99. Yesterday it actually read "5.0"...but today it went back to 4.99. With Uber I have a rating of 4.96. I think it's because I've ALWAYS been able to converse extremely well with strangers...even better than those people i actually KNOW. ( It's also a really valuable gift to be blessed with when it comes to job interviews.) I believe it's the main reason for my high ratings. However, being a quality driver is huge as well. Everyone thinks they're a good driver. Everyone IS NOT. I'm conscientious and patient, and I'm courteous toward others on the road. I truly try to keep a good distance from ALL other vehicles. I provide USB chargers for both Android and iPhones, and an extra one of each in case 2 passengers each have an iPhone (which happened exactly this way just today!) and I keep my car as clean as possible. I love this job...
