Lyft used to be about $1 a mile by me now with this upfront pricing they want you to do long distance trips for .60 .70 cents a mile it's absolutely ridiculous and no driver should ever take these. The IRS says it now cost .65 a mile to run your car and Lyft barley wants to pay you that. DRIVERS DO NOT TAKE THESE TRIPS YOUR LOSING MONEY!!!

Whoa, look look looky...that $12.66 bonus is indeed generous and enticing, hopefully you didnt think twice to ACCEPT, not only cash in but...of course doing it for The Community (the illustrious and much admired Lyft ridership)!

Thanks again,

Lyft Team

First of all the IRS deduction is 65 cents as of January 1st. Second of all it's not nonsense the federal government to could never do anything without taking forever basically realizes driving cost have gone up. Lift an Uber with their upfront pricing it's basically a pay cut. Anybody drives long distance for 70 cents a mile is out of their minds. I've been doing this a long time and I've never seen prices so low

Just the 3 1/2 hours of burning gas to worry about.
Oh I was NOT saying I'd take it or that it is remotely a good idea.

Just in the "can you ****ing believe this shit" it's not in top 10 worst.

its beyond ridiculous and offensive...lyft ill only work for when there is a streak or a stupid challenge..thank god i do this part time...lyft pick up seems farther too and for the most part their riders dont tip...lyft is a joke
Lyft had one the other day$183 for 250 miles. Off course I declined then just for fun I did the same ride like I was a customer Lyft was charging $400 I really hope no driver took it. It was like a 10 hr round trip
