Yeah, that’s why I said LA is just as bad as OC in the other thread. Every time I do a drop off there, 90% of the pings are paying less than 50 cents a minute. I get way more decent trip requests going to San Diego rather than LA.
Overall, Lyft and Uber just try to oversaturate the market as much as possible, so unless you’re very flexible in your routines and work a lot of hours, you’ll struggle.

Look at these bullshits I got after doing a Burbank dropoff
I only did one $11 trip that was on route and didn’t accept anything else until I got back to OC. San Diego definitely seems like it’s better than LA right now. The rates are just dogshit for having to deal with so much traffic.

Lyft was brilliant for setting the bar for what’s “fair” at 70% after 3rd party fees. It should be at least 80%.

Thanks for the refresher course on why I don't goto LA.
After three 20$ trips in a row and ending up walking distance from home. An DTLA trip showed 53$ for 69 miles. Here you can have this.
. Ended up at ONT AP. Bypassing the que, 10 ahead of me, I get the dream trip within walking distance to home again. So I didn't miss Resident Alien. I'll admit most days don't go that well.

Just an idea . Not great if you are the one they cap .
I wonder how many drivers would support driver caps if they were included in the cuts?
If you just cut out the people who rarely drive unless Uber offers a big promotion and slow down the recruitment of new drivers, then that would be enough to manage the over saturation issue.
Right now, the business model is too centered on shitting on the most dedicated drivers to focus on pumping and dumping newbies instead.

All the old timers but they would just need to stop signing up new people for one year like they did in New York
The ideal structure would be to cut off new enrollments and deactivate anyone who doesn't drive X number of hours per month. It sucks for people who see this as something to pick up for an hour or two when they're bored but something has to be done to stop the over saturation problem. Uber has no incentive to do it themselves and I don't know if there's any appetite to do it at the state level.

Let's just ****ing quit.
Tired of seeing all the *****ing.

Yeah, Uber being a side gig for people is fine, but oversaturating it with people who not even making $100 week just makes the shit wack for everybody.
OR Uber could just improve. It’s possible you know.

How many times have we been reminded that ride share was supposed to be a side gig and not a full time job?
Perhaps they should just cap drivers to no more than 4 hours per day and 3 days per week.
Uber and Lyft try to get drivers to work as many hours as possible. Insinuating that certain jobs aren’t “real jobs” or “just a side gig” facilitates the abuse of workers.
