something came up that required quick and liquid cash and Lyft was the only option that didn't require repayment. I wasn't happy about it and looked for any way possible to get out of driving. At one point I even decided to live with the consequences of not having the funds I needed.

I ended up driving Friday and Saturday night and have to admit that it went surprisingly well. Friday night was much busier than usual and Saturday was very good. I even snagged a 500% PT ride as my last ride of the night on Saturday. Another interesting surprise is that I received a tip on 40% of my rides. I've never seen that before. I'll give the rideshare game one compliment; if you need quick cash that you don't have to repay, it's hard to beat. I still wouldn't recommend it as a full-time or long-term gig, however.

For a part time side gig it is ideal. You go when you feel like it and get paid almost instantly.

It also helps if you live five minutes away from the two main PT zones in the city. Chilling at home while you wait for your first ping of the night or after a break is ideal as well.

500% huh

Do I sense some sarcasm there?

Spoiler

ON EDIT: It's actually 550% but let's not pick nits.

Yes driving in GR is a whole heck of a lot different than metro detroit. You can be anywhere in that city in like 12 - 15 minutes.

The drivers here haven't quite caught on to the game either. I watch them all night on the rider side and I rarely have to move unless I get a ping. I have one of the PT zones, pretty much, to myself for an entire night.

You're doing strictly lyft there? I haven't driven lyft in GR and I'm not there that much anyway. In laws live out that way so once in a while when we're over there for a weekend I need to get out of the house. lol.

Yup, strictly Lyft.
