An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Lyft Driver has unstable navigation that freezes, points to the wrong side of the street, and maps long routes. In some cities the order volume is so low that working the platform makes little financial sense.

What users experience

5 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

In 10 days I will have been driving Lyft for three years. The parts that I love are meeting new people having conversations and connecting the worst part about the job is how they compensate. We're doing all the work all the way in here on the vehicles and Lyft takes the lion's share.

Passengers are being charged more and more for rides but the drivers are getting paid less and less. Even the drivers with good ratings.

The Lyft Driver App isn't always accurate. It will tell you the pickup is on the left when it's on the right, it will take you the longer route, and it takes you through routes where the streets are closed.

I love that they have connected with Upside to help us get cash back during these economic times. The AI aspect is helpful to make the rides make sense for drivers

Account got deactivated because rider was unhappy for what ever reason and said I was speeding didn't even give me a chance after 4 years of driving for Lyft
