If this means what I think it means then
You won't get but 20 trips from me lyft maybe 25 whatever it takes to pay for the car and I'm done!

It means that once again drivers lose.

It is a pay cut for the drivers using a Lyft rental.

Wow. I was literally in the process of planning to move back to ATL so that I could start doing Express Drive there. I've been in Maryland but have an Atlanta ID. There's just no way I can go back and make enough money to even survive with those rates. That's absolutely insane.

Most businesses pass along their increased cost to the consumer, but rideshare businesses pass along the increased cost to the ones providing the service, the driver, and continue to give Riders discounts to use the service.

This is one industry where increased costs has a direct effect on the supply of customers.

Hardship to drivers when there are already too many drivers, is the path of least resistance.

It’s a pay cut for those using their cars. They’re paying you less per mile for using their car(even though they’re already charging you $1,000 per month + deposit) than if you’re using your vehicle. That’s about a 30% pay cut for drivers in Orl. If this doesn’t prove to you that “ride-sharing” numbers don’t work in your favor , then I don’t know what will.

That doesn't really withstand any kind of scrutiny though. There are still some issues but there is still a lot of viability here . Lyft's program before was only $44/week if you did 100 rides which for a full-time driver is actually pretty damn reasonable. Unlimited personal miles, maintenance included. A car note and insurance are more than that.

Lyft took it too far though. Uber offers a $1mil policy with weekly stipend for .04/loaded mile. There is simply no excuse for this policy change and it's absolutely exploiting it's most vulnerable drivers

I feel sorry for the Lyft drivers that are full time Express drivers it's a slave loop that never breaks. A 12 cent deduction per mile means that even if you do 95 trips per week the bonus money will only equal out to the 12 cents they just took from you. I have three cars a 2013 2014 and 1981. I rather ride a rental and do 20 trips than to pay for a rental out front to drive state to state like I do. I have one question for Lyft though. IF I SWITCH CARS AFTER MY 20 TRIPS WILL YOU PAY ME MY 12 CENTS SUCKA!
