Yesterday was my first day driving for Lyft. Found out I was approved midday, so this isn't even a full day. I ran Uber at the same time and just took the first call that came in.
Things I liked
- All but one rider was standing on the street waiting.
- Everyone tipped!!!
- Lyft is 0% commission right now, so the whole $72 is mine. Steak and lobster for diner please.
- The app has a button that automatically drops the pickup address into Waze. (same as Sidecar)
- Riders can list the drop off location in the request for more easy Waze interface action.
- You get pics of the riders. OK it's their Facebook profile pic, but a pic nonetheless.
- Way less drivers than Uber on the map means I covered a larger area.
Things I didn't like
- Have to turn off Bluetooth to hear the ping. Missed one request due to this. (Same as Sidecar)
- The ping is very "easy listening" and doesn't get your attention like Uber's
- Lyft riders complaining about Uber drivers (oops)
