First of all, I'm not a new TLC driver. Been driving Yellow and FHV for past 6 years. When I switched to Uber, I was a black driver but due to a false report by a passenger, I was deactivated. No longer have my SUV at this point and was thinking about going to Via and Lyft with the Metris. For those who work only with Lyft, what is your daily earning like? I am trying to see if I can survive on Lyft and Via alone at this point. Otherwise, I will be looking for a different field as my other option.

I think for Via they usually have the am promos for about $100-120 for 6-9:30 or something which I'll probably do unless Lyft is able to keep me busy enough on just regular Lyft and Lyft plus. I basically need to know if $350 after gas and tolls is still doable with these 2 companies combined. If not, what is the realistic amount I can expect to take home working mornings mon-fri from 5-6am till 5-6 pm and Sundays mid day.

Please no smart answers such as peanuts, via shuttle bus driver etc. I've seen it all and heard it all here. I just want an honest answer from fellow drivers to help me figure out what I should plan to do. Thanks in advanced.

Stay away from via because they will work you and your car to the ground.
I only plan to work with them during the morning AM Rush hour bonuses as the payout isnt bad if they are guaranteeing 120ish for the 3 hours.

From what you posted VIA would be your main and Lyft would be your filler.

Right now as far as I can tell you need 3 apps to approach that kind of money.

Is signing up with Juno an option for you?
Well Via only for the 3 hours most likely and Lyft will be the main source I guess. I do have Juno as well but just didn't bother mentioning them as I'm not even sure if there are even any more passengers on them. How are they actually?

I figured someone will get a kick out of it. As I mentioned, I am now going the Lyft and Lyft plus vehicle. I know that their lux is almost non-existent. If I did 2-3 rides a week on lux, it was considered a lot. Most of my income 75% was from Uber black and suv. But unfortunately that is no longer an option.

I know how the rates are and I am not expecting to make the same money I made on black and Suv with Uber. But I need to find a way to reach $350 a day after gas and tolls per day basically. Anything you suggest?

$350 after gas working around 15 hours
Is that with just Lyft and Via? If so, that's something I have to push for... didn't want to do 15 hour days but if I have to survive, I have to survive...

On app company no one can make this money. Remember the tlc law you cannot drive with pasager more then 10 hours in 16 hours online
Yes thank you. 10 hours passenger time. I usually worked from 4-5am to 5-7 pm on black and suv but I obviously will not be able to maintain same daily goal with just Lyft and Via and to make it worse, with just a xl vehicle...

What lie did the PAX say to get you deactivated?

Jus curious , this info can be helpful. Sometimes i feel like everyday is my last with these childish PAX.
Pax had more than 6 pax (all adults) and when I told them I cannot transport all 6 at the same time, they were upset. Long story short, they told uber that they had a service animal that I refused. (No dash cam.... big mistake)

Uber is clearly not for u uber1010. U are clueless. Only u post these ridiculous earnings of $90 in 40 hours trying to prove how bad Uber is. You are literally the only one posting that garbage. Please get a new job and perhaps learning the English language will help. I dont know what's worst, Ur English or the bogus info you spit.

Wow thats crazy. Cant believe someone would go through that much drama getting someone canned for a refusal of 6 PAX. Did it get confrontational?

And that uber would even terminate you without proof or anything is wild....not surprising but nuts nonetheless....uber sux

Try to fight that shitty accusation man ...Dont give up ...keep harrassing uber ....Good luck bro

I basically told the passenger that I cannot take more than 6 passengers and drove off when they refused to listen to me and canceled the ride. I'm guessing I wasnt the first one to drive off on them and they had enough of it... I have tried to appeal to Uber and they just said that I refused a service animal and would not reinstate my acount.

I agree have 3 apps. Why don't u do Lyft via and a base. I do decent with base work uber and Lyft
I would be doing Via from 6-9am for their rush hour guarantee of $100-120ish or whatever they usually offer and then switch on to Lyft and Juno from 9am to about 5-7pm. Hoping I can make additional $250 during those hours with Lyft and Juno... think it's possible?
