This new feature is a cherry pickers' dream. Lyft now tells you how long the ride should be. Kind of like the +45 min feature. Awesome and gives us more info. This is a game changer! I get this message every request now. Is everyone getting this now?

Wow love it. This is something that should of been on these apps since day one.

If the ride-time is as UNaccurate as the pickup-time, it will be near useless..

 

[IMMA DRIVER]

It's accurate. Goes through Gps just like pickups. Calculates traffic time too. Got a number of requests during rush hour. Even if its off slightly, its a major upgrade and total game changer.... Could make hitting pdb near impossible for some drivers who like cherry picking.

This is surprising. Is it only in RI? I doubt that it'll last long.

 

[Kodyhead]

Idk in love the 45+ trips but sometimes it takes me 25 mins to finish them lol

 

[IERide]

Wonder if this is available yet for iOS.. just got an update today but havn’t driven with it yet.

 

[Kodyhead]

It might just be testing in certain markets

 

[Tysmith95]

Maybe they just gave you a ride time for that trip because the pickup was 20 mins away.

 

[IMMA DRIVER]

The best thing is now you know if a long pick up is worth it or not. Some long pickups might be worthwhile.

Maybe they just gave you a ride time for that trip because the pickup was 20 mins away.

Not true. I thought the same thing at first. I got at least 7 of these in a row. Most were 4 min pickups.

When did you update the app?

 

[IMMA DRIVER]

Haven't updated in a while. Lyft has just added an airport que in RI which was non existent. They've also recently added power zones in RI. But the"estimated ride time was added this afternoon". This was not present this morning.

I feel like LYFT is finally done copying uber and for the better

 

[IMMA DRIVER]

I wonder if they're testing in RI because its a small market.
There will be tons of cherry picking in Boston for sure. College students won't get picked up.

Can you imagine seeing "4 min pickup. 2 min estimated ride"

That is great until they figure out we like it and take it away. But dumb question. Is the 34 minute drive including the drive to? So 20 minutes there for a 14 minute fare or 20 plus 34? The reason I ask is we all know how Lyft and Uber's math works.

 

[Showa50]

Are you super ant with 95%+ AR? These features are usually given to the non cherry pickers.

 

[Kodyhead]

Actually I do recall a message from lyft about showing destinations but must have 90% or higher lol maybe 4-6 months ago
