RIDEGURU
I am looking into driving full time, but I feel the only way to make it worthwhile is if I'm available for as many rideshares as possible.
1. How can I make that possible? Can you have both apps on at the same time?
2. Does Uber/Lyft punish me if they catch on that were driving for their competitor?
I appreciate your input.
Thanks

The biggest "trick" to doing this is remembering to turn OFF the other APP after you accept a ride. For example, once you accept a ride on Lyft, you MUST remember to TURN OFF the Uber App, otherwise you'll be getting pinged for rides you cannot accept! Trust me, you'll forget until you've done this a few times! There is not a problem driving for both systems - most drivers do actually and Uber and Lyft are fully aware of this.
Driver is a contractor, Uber nor Lyft can punish you for driving for competitor. Driver opens up both apps, whichever send him a ride request first and if driver chooses to accept it, then driver accepts that ride and quickly closes the other app
