Quick end to season!

It’s dead. 2-3 hour wait at RSW the last two nights and no pings in the streets. Looks like only bar runs, so might be time to hibernate until the small rush of summer vacationers in June ?

Season is not over yet but it is going down. Tuesdays generally are always slow even in March. Overall it is a combination of less people coming now (Easter week is the last spring break week) and more locals picking people. And also because of the cherrypicking frenzy last summer and more people using cabs, and Lyft now sending requests outside RSW (if you decline you go back to the bottom of the queue) does not make things easy.

I find that in our market, I make on average $2.68 more per Uber fare than per Lyft fare. Lyft is mostly shorter trip non-tippers and you are far more likely to get underage rider requests on Lyft. Uber pings are more frequent, pay better, so I figure why risk a potential higher paying Uber fare while driving a Lyft fare. I rarely even turn on the Lyft app these days.
I haven't driven for Lyft for almost a month. Lyft sucks here. Uber came first so more people use Uber everywhere. Lyft users here are mostly college students, visitors from cities like NYC, and Uber rejects. About 8 of 10 Lyft riders here give you less than 5 stars, in certain areas are mostly ghetto-behaving, and at the airport as I mentioned before if you get a ping from outside the airport you reject it and you go down to the last place at the queue, in addition of having a tiny geofence so you can't touch the phone while waiting or it will take you out of the geofence. And- if you get a request at RSW and the rider does not appear, be ready to be thrown back to to the end of the line at the queue. It makes you wait for a potentially fake passenger and then call the person so if you cannot cancel. Lyft is garbage
