  In what states are the license plates also in the front of the vehicle? This is sort of important to find your Uber driver, yes?

   3 years ago in  What is Lyft doing right that Uber is not?

  I thought they were getting destroyed since the beginning of the pandemic.  They don't have LyftEats, so I don't know how they are making any money.

   3 years ago in  For women around the world, the “gig economy” is just business as usual

  I have a feeling people are confusing part-time jobs with gig workers.  or "flexible hours" to gig workers.

  ...or is it that people are just using "gig workers" (the big buzz word) to describe more things now.  Yeah, I think taht's it.

  This one too 

  Lyft's Fast-Slumping Stock Quickly Leads to Investor Lawsuits

  Snap Inc.’s IPO honeymoon in 2017 gave way to investor lawsuits within 10 weeks. With Blue Apron Holdings it was just seven weeks.

  For Lyft Inc., whose stock has tumbled sharply since its March 28 launch, it took less than three weeks for disillusioned shareholders to sue the company over claims they were taken for a ride.

  Monopoly in the Middle East now. I thought there was a good thing going between Uber vs. Careem, but there goes that.

   6 years ago in  Driver Scam Equation - Collecting No-shows

  Driver cancelling on you seems to happen a lot at airports. I am not sure about them turning off the phones, but they often make an excuse and tell me to cancel and request again for a quicker pickup. I am sure most riders won't ask questions and just do it, but it's rather annoying.

  Are they judging our destination or something? I don't see why they do this.

   6 years ago in  Can I use Uber in airport mode?

  No, you cannot.  Not sure why you would want to.

  Here's one way. You can turn on WiFi while on Airplane Mode. So do that, and connect to a nearby wifi spot. Then you can call Uber.

   6 years ago in  As an Uber/Lyft driver, what have you been accused of by riders?

  I don't drive for Lyft (or anyone) but do these feedback come from Lyft or does it come directly from a passenger?  I see some screenshots here, but I don't quite get it.

   6 years ago in  As a rider, do you really care about your Uber or Lyft score?

  I just checked mine and it's 4.78, and I really though I was an impeccable passenger.

  I did hear somewhere else that overall passenger rating is much lower than driver ratings.  We pax does not seem to get the automatic 5s on regular rides.  Working off of a tighter tougher curve.

   6 years ago in  How are Uber passengers and Lyft passengers different?

  I honestly thought all Lyft users were Uber users.

  or maytbe they are but the expectation is slightly different on Lyft?

   6 years ago in  Can I drive a pickup truck for Uber? I do have an extended cab, i.e. backseats.

  yes, do the math.  F150 at best gets 20mpg in a city driving.  50,000 miles a year.  That's 50,000 / 20 = 2500 gallons, which at $3.00 is $7500.

  Comparatively, a Toyota Prius at 58mpg?  50000 / 58 = 862 gallons, which at $3.00 is $2500.

  That's a $5000 a year difference.

   6 years ago in  What is a reasonable tip for a 15 minute food pit stop?

  I normally do like stops that exceed 5 minutes. I would recommend handing over at least a $10 bill before the stop and if you go over the 15 minutes maybe giving a little bit more? We are losing money while stopped.
