Has anyone found a solution to this since Lyft is not allowed to pick up from DTW? besides calling and asking where they are going and cancelling if they are not going far, which I know some of you do because people ***** about that lol.

My best fares have been from driving strippers home at 3 or 4 in the morning. A single 45 minute ride is more then I can make in a day from short trips.

All you can do is call. Ask how many people you will be picking up, it there are stops and where the final destination will be. I do this sometimes. No one complains. Most people don't answer the phone on bar nights. Nothing wrong or against policy to ask these questions.

I don't do lyft but with uber, I just won't pick someone up over 10 min away. It's helped with fuel costs. Half of the time I would drive 15 min to get someone, they were going 2 miles down the road.

The people you pick up don't complain but the ones you call and cancel on complain to other drivers. I would be worried about them reporting this to lyft because it only takes one angry rider to get fired

You do realize that yesterday (3/21) was the very first "legal" day for Uber to operate at the airport, right?
With the brand new Airport Authority agreement. You were always subject to being ticketed/towed/impounded.
My point is, Lyft is no different at the airport than Uber has been for the last 4 years!

Uber hasn't even been in MI for 4 yrs.

Since when is Lyft not allowed to pick up at DTW? Since three weeks ago? I picked up someone right after a drop off three weeks ago.

Well ... Almost, I guess it's 3 years 7 months now, I think they launched in Sept. 2013.

Uber & Lyft have NEVER been "allowed" at the airport, until yesterday for Uber.
They've just been lying & cheating, and you've been rolling the dice on getting impounded all these years! Lol
