Rideshare drivers will never again be paid adjustments for time so long as certain people have the attitude that their time is worthless.

Technically speaking, historically, Uber and Lyft drivers make a majority of their money on mileage and tips, not time. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if my understanding is correct, Uber Comfort drivers in Los Angeles earn roughly 15 cents per minute, which I imagine is pretty close to what the Lyft rates are for a similar vehicle.

So in this case...in which the driver got paid almost $80 an hour for "donating" his time, if Lyft did make an adjustment to compensate for time above what was given in the estimate (29 minutes), the driver would get paid an additional $4.35 for the ride.

Perhaps someone should open up a GoFundMe account to compensate him for his time...

Technically speaking

PROP22 guarantees 30 cents a minute. Doesn't get any simpler than that.
Oh and don't forget Uber's tagline and "that's just the floor you can always earn more!

Ok. I stand corrected. The new adjusted total would be $8.70. As of now, there are 23 participants in this discussion, so if we all chip in and 38 cents each, the original poster would be fairly compensated for the ride, and come out slightly ahead.

It's completely irrelevant if he's owed $4 or $400, why should he "donate" that to the company.

How about just admit the fact that you basically got bent out of shape for less than $5 if the above example I quoted was correct, or less than $10 if the corrected version of the math is true? If you average $80 an hour, and $10 is the amount you are owed, you would be able to make up the difference by taking just one 8 minute ride at the end of your shift.

Say a driver where to make $80 an hour on 1 hour driven, as the week progresses the earnings vary. By the end of the week the driver who made $80 in one particular hour, made much less than the Uber guaranteed minimum on other hours. That $80 is used to make up the difference so in actuality at the end of the week he did not make $80 an hour under the Uber math of prop 22.
Example in one two week period in quests and surge I made $426. However in the prop 22 summary of my earnings I was $115 above the guaranteed minimum. Over $300 of my so-called quest earnings and surge earnings were used to cover Uber shortfall.
The $80 an hour is an illusion.
But Uber did send me a shill(ing)🤣

That's not what happened here. Let's look at what actually happened here, rather than create an imaginary scenario which did not happen. Keep in mind that this does not happen with every single ride, but is the exception and not the rule.

Let's look again at the title of this thread. I'm keeping in line with Lyft and Uber are POS companies.

THEN STOP DRIVING FOR LYFT AND UBER AND GET A BETTER JOB!

It's not a job, it's highly manipulated independent contracting, stay focused 🤠

 

[Brandonbaghdady]

Yes I know that’s the past dude. A year ago I was getting the same and making $500 gross per day on Lyft. Those days are gone

Lux black drivers are getting desperate. They’re waking up at 3 AM posting up in my area now. When people in my area (rolling hills) don’t even order lux black anymore. Lol

 

[Brandonbaghdady]

As far as I remember idiot Logan asked for too much money and TK laughed him out of the building.

Watch super pumped on Showtime when you get a chance

Been driving Lyft now for 2 weeks. They definately pay more than Uber. I did an airport run from WEHO last night. Those Uber calls pay about $15 to $16 at non peak times. With Lyft I got nearly $20 for a 14 mile ride that took about 35 minutes. The passenger shuffling is annoying and you can't decline those calls but I am going to stick with Lyft for now.

Depends on the day when Lyft is good or not. But they like to lowball the lux rides

Again, just like many months ago, uber has no idea what the hell they're talking about. I just got a message from Uber a few minutes ago saying, Congratulations for doing eight thousand rides, But I didn't lol.

This is some grade A trolling or bootlicking. You are essentially against everything that benefits drivers 🤦‍♂️.

Uber math.
Uber Math equals 54 minute trip for $11, prop 22 guarantee has been met 🤣

No. My post was about pointing out how drivers get bent out of shape over something very minor like $5, complain about it in a public forum, refuse to take responsibility for their own actions, badmouth the companies that give them the best paying income they have had in their lifetime, and won't bat an eye at spending $30 a day on Carmel Macchiato Lates.

Making money driving and wanting policies to benefit drivers more aren’t mutually exclusive beliefs to have 🤦‍♂️.

Just because we earn a living doing Uber/Lyft doesn’t mean we should shut our mouths and bend over when the companies do things that are detrimental to us.

Sure, there can always be improvements, and no one is questioning that, but we don't live in a perfect world where everything is going to be perfect and you will get your way all of the time. Remember, there are certain things you agree to in order to drive for Uber and Lyft, and these things are legally binding. If you hate it so much, and are going to complain about every little thing, then it's time for a different line of work. Also remember that these companies basically operate at a loss. It's not all about you. Stop acting like a boy and be a man. The world does not revolve around you.

NBA Players negotiate their contracts and go on organized strikes when they make millions of dollars a year. Here you are acting like we should be happy go lucky over a gig that barely pays us enough to keep doing it 😅. Get the **** outta here with that lame shit.
