If your not making +$1 per odometer mile driving rideshare it's not worth it unless one was already going that way anyway.

Certainly 50 cents a mile one way qualifies, just barely covers vehicle expenses, gas, tires and maintenance.

15 cents a mile to replace the vehicle at 300,000 miles ($45,000)

10 cents a mile for taxes.

25 cents a mile makes one about $20,000 a year clear.

Have you figured out the tax benefits of deducting the car if it's your only income?

I drive in Tampa. This started about a week and a half to two weeks ago, out of nowhere.

I am wondering if this is their way of taking their money back after having all-day $10-plus surges a couple weeks back due to Gasparilla?

I mean I am getting offers that I wouldn’t take even if they were triple in some instances!

What’s also odd is that now the Lyft offers I am getting, which have typically been putrid, are coming in a lot higher than usual and are on par with where Uber was before this recent pay slash.

Because people shut Lyft off as their offers were beyond unreasonable. They've used bonuses and stuff to get people back online.

but the app says its busy must be true
more rides = mo money duh
even though I get rides from home and it always says its busy xl pings are 1-3 every hour or few

now x is off the chain 3 requests per min 8 hours a day
but I can math so those are a no go
i wouldnt give you a ride for $4 in highschool and you were my friend standing next to me going the same plae that was 1990 lol & if I was standing in the line at mcdonalds and they asked me to deliver a bag to the parking lot for $2 knowing what I know about these apps Id decline outta spite

honestly it would work better if they just gave drive thru customers their meal free if hey deliver one handed to them hahahahaha
