Philadelphia, Bucks, New Jersey Drivers anyone drive for Lyft?

It was a rap concert with many different rappers. I am assuming there were many ride request as venue was packed. I didnt have Uber app on but had another trip into New York also had a request while on Uber. I was thinking the same thing about airport but not sure if I could pick up or what "rules" of that airport is. I was paid 42.00 for tolls. My bigger tips seem to come from having conversations with riders, playing music they like or allowing them to play theirs, and allowing people to smoke. I have You Tube Red $10.00 per mth (had prior to driving for Uber) I create play list of one hit wonders, 50's to 70's, 80''s, rap & younger crowd's music, metal, and popular rock music. I smoke as you now know so dont mind people smoking. Most dont ask but the few that have always tip. I use a spray called Blunt Effects takes any odor away in 30 seconds.  Haven't found an odor yet it dont take away. Seven out of 10 riders when they get in remark how great my car smells.

I use a spray called Blunt Effects takes any odor away in 30 seconds.  Haven't found an odor yet it dont take away. Seven out of 10 riders when they get in remark how great my car smells. Only con is its very oily.  I bought cheap car mats and spray on them. You only need a squirt or 2 before driving as some of the scents are very strong. If someone smokes quick spray.  Pick up a non smoking rider 3 min later, they never know. Conversation and music seem to be the reasons for most big tips. I never disagree although sometimes I would love to. Lol I let them do most of the talking especially the ones that love to talk. I offer advice if asked if not I keep my advice to myself.  Music seems to be a great topic almost all people enjoy music. You Tube Red definately pays off as I can put any song a rider can think of on (no limitations). I think it may even be a tax write off if I am not mistaken. You keep giving me driving tips. In/outs, good spots, and I'll try to give tips to get big tips. Lol Lesson learned on gas even slow nights. When I drive my Ford Focus always had gas 36.00 to fill. Pilot is 60.00 to fill. Never letting it go under 1/2 of tank again. I lost a 45+ Uber X at 5:45 am this morning in Newtown. Had put 20.00 in after New York but did a few trips and did favor for friend. Had a request across the street that took me to Newtown. Was supposed to be my last trip. Then that 45+ came in. I would've taken it but no close gas stations up there. Gas prices are also high up their. Shell station near Oxford Valley 3.39.   If you are ever in neighborhood of Knights and Frankford stop at Sunoco. I sit there waiting for rides (black Honda Pilot). Busy spot as it sits me between Philly and Bensalem. When I see Uber drivers come in to get gas, drinks, etc i sometimes talk to them. I wonder if it anyone I talk to on here that drive in our areas. Lol Obviously I never ask the people. Sorry yet again for the long drawn out advice but wanted to share as you always give me great advice. Sure you can tell I talk to my riders as I never shut up when posting. Lol There is one other guy on here who also drives in Bucks that gives me good advice. Grateful for both of your tips. 😊
