Fare Issue WTF?

I FUCKING HATEEEEEE driving services with a PASSSSSION.

i was freaking out at the end texting him to cancel or call me because he was at my college 14 min ago, i got the notification someone else was in the car. i assumed he wanted to make more time to find me, so i waited. then i noticed he was driving to a completely different location, and i was very confused, 10 minutes later, i see it marked as arrived. made 0 fucking sense.

I WAS infront of my college for 2 hours, SWEATY asf, had to ask a sweet dude for his charger- which i had to borrow for like half an hour.

also i wasnt spamming him all in one go, this was between time frames, lyft just grouped it all together.

disclaimer: I DO NOT CARE if you believe me on the fact that the app said he arrived or not. a lot of you sound really unwell going back and fourth with me and a ton of other commentors, as you make up a story in your head on what you think happened instead.

Pet fee surcharge in addition to higher fare

4 Upvotes

I ordered a ride with a pet and obviously that was more expensive than a regular ride. I’m willing to accept that but then at the end of the ride, I see that there is another surcharge on top of the higher fare called the pet ride fee. Which one is it? You can’t charge both the higher fare and add a surcharge. Lyft has gotten super shady recently.

Lyft/Uber and whatever else needs an "Are you sure" prompt before you do adverse things that would harm your earnings/acceptance.

I have read a couple things about people getting a bundle of uber eats orders all for like 2 dollars and they hit accept, because the app has the take a picture button in the same spot as the accept button for orders. Also today I had a 60% turbo in my account and when I got home and put the area filter on, because I was trying to turn in soon and wanted to avoid long trips, but get that 60% bonus. Either when I had it in my shirt pocket or I set it down to work on something somewhere the go offline button got hit. Heck even my phone being it's old may have clicked it by itself. Anyway when you have a turbo/surge(uber) it should flag are you sure you have this bonus and going offline will forfeit it. Also you go offline if your filter expires like head to a destination and the turbo is loss. When lyft had streaks they would warn you before going offline. Speaking of which lyft needs to brings those back I would make 70 dollars in like 2 hours and sometimes I could get the streak twice in the same hour if rides were quick enough and i got a 4th request on the 3rd ride within the same hour.

Driver Question Lyft grossly exaggerating hourly values

0 Upvotes

Has anybody looked at their ride details for Lyft and found the offered hourly value to be way off? I mean up to $6 off?

The ride comes in and claims $24.75/hr, for example, but the final value says $$21.15/hr.
This ain’t a matter of traffic etc, as the gps knows up front how long the trip will take, and it’s happening on rides where I take the carpool lane, and also short rides with zero traffic issues.

Detouring to drop off Door Dash

6 Upvotes

I was picked up almost immediately but my driver said something about another customer (I was not in any sort of car pool option) and started driving the opposite direction. It turned out to be a food delivery. It added at least 10 minutes to the trip.

It’s rough out there and everyone is hustling but as a woman not fully understanding what was happening set off some alarm bells. Is it worth reporting?

Skunk

I had a Lyft ride today. The car smelled like skunk (weed) and she drove the whole way with the windows down.

Lyft

2 Upvotes

’ve been a Lyft customer for 11 years, have taken over 1,000 rides, and have maintained a 5-star rating. About two weeks ago, my account was suddenly suspended after being flagged for allegedly having an underage passenger.

Since then, I’ve:

  • Uploaded my driver’s license multiple times.
  • Contacted support repeatedly, but I keep getting stuck in the same troubleshooting loop.
  • Posted on X and exchanged messages with Lyft there.
  • Force-quit the app, logged out and back in, and even reinstalled it.

The strangest part is that my account isn’t completely blocked—I can schedule rides for a future date, but I can’t request an on-demand ride. Every time I try, I get the same suspension/verification message.

It’s been almost two weeks with no progress despite multiple support agents telling me they’ve updated my account.

Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, how did you finally get it resolved? At this point I’m out of ideas.
