Warning to all ride share drivers. I am a driver of over a 1000 rides. I have noticed a trend. Anytime I "act up" according to Lyft, which means having a low cancellation percentage, cancelling a few rides due to safety concerns or the system automatically choosing another passenger for me after I accepted a ride going to pax and doing other things. I notice Lyft puts me offline. I check the Lyft pax app and I don't see my car there. Then I start to notice something fishy. On some days I can have 15 to 20 rides and more than half will tip. On other days where I sense I picked up tipable paxs I can have none. I know many drivers complained about paxs saying they would tip n never do. Well yesterday I pick up a old friend of mine. He said he would tip. I know this man for over 10 years..he is not a liar. Wake up today no tip. Call him and explain to him I suspect Lyft is taking my tips and I want to make sure, he sends me the mail
It's a damn 6 dollar too. Guess what...... Nothing. I suspect they are indeed stealing it. This confirms.

Lyft and uber control all the information/data.Why wouldn't they steal?
I did I have the email with the total. The last part is impossible. What type fraud could we have committed? Do you think Lyft minister ever ride for fraud as it happening. My tips usually post right away but on some days when they don't and they come n the next day I suspect the system is taking its time in figuring out what to give and what to take. There must be some type of bug installed by a secret developer. Things don't add up. I know many paxs don't tip but I swear I think they activate the bug when we act up.


Random ride in the part of town he works. I live a few blocks from him. I told him to call me if he ever needs a ride but he barely takes a Lyft.
you are right ....UBER is doing the exact same thing.......don't ever doubt your intuition......

I know for a fact that Lyft steals tip money. I have actually inputted the tip amount for several passengers who were confused about how to use the app. One was 25 dollars of which I only saw 20 and another tip for 10 dollars where I only saw 7 dollars and some change. Lyft is stealing tip money it's not even debatable, it's a fact.

That's why drivers quitting Uber & Lyft.
Majority of drivers quits average in 7 month .
It's simply unsustainable and those companies are group of people who are con artists. They scans drivers for iving. They are enjoy doing drivers becomes bankrupt or suicide or killed by murderers. Ask them they tells you straight out . Yes.
It's really simple. If you have proof, proof being the customers receipt from the trip showing that they paid X for a tip and your receipt from the trip showing you didn't get that tip, then wait a week to see if there's a mistake, then RUN to your nearest attorney's office (you did opt out of arbitration right?) because you have a gold mine. This would give your attorney enough ammunition to file and request all of the data in discovery. Tip stealing is a serious offense, I doubt that it's anything more than a combination of pax lying, CC declines and/or software screwup.

They are highly aware that it's hard for us to obtain so called Proof.
But just call your friend or close families then generate trip request. Accept its trip. Do some trip with him . He put whatever the amount of tips and see you gonna get it Or what not.
Video all that evidences you gather then post everywhere on social MEDIAS. That's one great solutions of all this.
