Rain, as the old-timers taught me, is a good thing. It makes people want to ride-share.

Never really put that theory to the test. When times were good, I sat our rain days. Main reason: it's much more effort to keep the floor mats clean when people drag wet mud into the car. Plus, driving in rain is exhausting because I can never quite tell what some Angelenos are up to when water comes from above. Some drive like they are trying to dodge rain drops, or suddenly brake for random reasons.

But, given that times are what they are and May rent will come due soon, I am now driving during the rain.

Maybe the rain got people into rideshares in another time, but right now it feels that the few (non-essential) folks who were still out and about now also sit it out due to deluge.

$74 in 12 hours. I just couldn't get more today (Lyft exclusive).

Anyone else?

I don't understand your strategy. If you're going to work/drive, you have to go where there is high demand (food, grocery, package delivery).
U/L is not in high demand right now.

I rent through Lyft's ExpressDrive program. They've reduced the weekly rate to $80 + tax, which is very fair, so I drive R/S to keep that car for now (ExpressDrive is frozen right now, so I figure it might prove beneficial to be one of the few left standing when we get out of this). Downside, no insurance coverage when I do anything but Lyft with that car, and I'm NOT willing to risk that for those measly delivery $.
