My first Uber ride this morning no-showed on me.. Probably because he realized it was a 1.5x surge.. I turned Uber off so I wouldn't get a ping from him again after I took his $5 and turned on Lyft.. 3 rides and 3hrs later I had $90 and called it a day.

I've found that Lyft is a lot slower than Uber but it seems the rides are longer and the pax are better.

What is your Inland Empire opinion of Uber vs Lyft?

I've had some stupidly short rides with long ETA'S, but overall Lyft rides tend to be longer. I've not done all that many Lyft rides though so I'm basing this on a very small sample group.

Just make sure if you have to cancel no show on Lyft you call the passenger, otherwise you don't get paid. I call and let it ring once and hang up. If they call back I ignore.

Oh, that works?!

Sure does. Stupid rule, pax know we're there because of the text from Lyft, making us call pisses me off.

The Lyft riders have killed my rating in Mo Valley. Down to 4.63 , It's really forcing me to play the race card.

While Ubers has gone up over the last month by .04's, and I'd bet if I did OC tomorrow another .01

Although I hate short trips, I will be glad UCR is back in session.

When using Lyft in the IE it's common to get requests 10-25 minutes away. It's tough keeping a high acceptance rate with Lyft in the IE. If you manage it it's because you have a high cancellation rate :|

Lyft rating is back up to near ubers.

Lately it's been 50/50 trip wise. Nearly the same with earnings too.

One downside to Lyft is PT vs Surge. Surge is easy to understand as it lets u know up front while PT is a mystery until the end

What is PT?

Prime Time, same as Surge rates, cept PT is shown as a % . So when it shows 100% PT it's a 2.0 surge. 50%=1.5 surge.
