The apps are user friendly. There are buttons front and center to start trip, navigate and drop off. the best advice is to drive a couple of passengers. Let them know from the start this is your first week, most passengers are understanding. If there is any mistake, let the pax know they wont be overcharged and that Lyft support will sort it out. Email lyft immediately and describe what happens. Same with uber app.
Ok so are lyft mentors suppose to actually meet you and take you for a ride and show you how the process works?
Yah Im signing up for uber but I just got a new car so I have to wait till labor day weekend is over with so i can get the current insurance for the new car. But I definitely plan on doing both once I get both apps approvedHave you signed up for Uber? You can get more jobs and fares with Uber. You can even have both apps open at the same time.

Irregardless of what ridesharing platform you use, your app will alert you when there is a ride and it will show the pickup area, rating of passenger, and their name. Accept the job if you'd like to take it, and drive to the pickup area and slide to mark you've arrived.
Once they're in the car and you've verbally confirmed their name, slide to begin trip. After you've arrived, just slide to end the trip. There should be videos in the partner onboarding emails you received.
most passanger are understanding ?????
This is no longer offered in many markets. I would start with Uber.
Used to have a boss who used this word. Drove me batshit. Sadly, I think it's been added to the dictionary but I refuse to look lest the nails on the chalkboard put me away for good
Just did/got this last week in San Diego.
@glados you really are naive .... you spout spin and bullshit from a "theoretical" or textbook viewpoint.
Not sure about iOS, but on the latest Android app, Open Lyft, tap Settings. There's a "Ride Walkthrough" that will do a simulated ride.
Yup. That is correct. I am a Lyft driver myself and use an iPhone. They added that in the most recent update. I tried it for a little while, but I obviously found no point in going through all of it as I've been driving for Lyft for a little over a month now, and was just able to figure out how to accept ride requests and stuff from the get go.
