One way is 500 miles. Assuming 30 MPG and $5 per gallon, that's $93 and change.
Edit: of course it's only one way and does not account for ANYTHING else. I was just simply calculating the gas cost.
Mileage can depreciate a car by say, $0.05. And then there is maintenance, 600 miles is like 12% of the way towards the next oil change.
Add those up and could be another $50.
So half of the ride is eaten up with gas and mileage expenses. $150 for a 12 hour drive is $12.50/h. The state min wage is $16/h (or $20 for fast food workers!)
Yeah he’s just quoting a business capital depreciation rate which fully depreciates over 5 years. Computer hardware, office furniture, kitchen great, etc is the same - it’s certainly not worth nothing after 5 years, but it’s simpler to fully depreciate it.
Which is why it doesn’t really apply that well to personal vehicles, especially if they were not purchased new and used exclusively for ride shares.
Yeah, any vehicle that can still drive itself over to the scrap yard, is worth at least its salvage value, plus whatever amount not having to transport it there is worth …
That’s why a friend of a friend practically begged me to let him scrap my last beater for $200, he was hoping to make double that for the parts, which is why I was pretty sure I could get more for it as a trade in.
If you're the kind of person who trades your car in every two years and you're using it for Lyft you're an idiot. I drive a 2016 Hyundai with 231k and just fix whatever breaks when it needs it.
The $0.37 includes wear. That’s the whole point of depreciation.
But that is also based on a very short capital depreciation schedule for businesses of 5 years. I’m sure most personal owners would keep theirs much longer. The true depreciation most experts have calculated is closer to $0.05-$0.10 depending on the car model. Assuming most drivers aren’t driving $80k Mercedes I went at the lower end.
A fair bit. But I had a regular that travelled for business a lot. He refused to fly. His company reimbursed all his travel and really didn’t seem to care about the cost. I drove him from Philadelphia to Boston a few times. Philadelphia to NYC several times, and even drove him to Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago. Paid gas, tolls, food, accommodations (both ways). Longest we were away was 3 weeks. I had zero expenses and made $7k. I understand this is beyond out of the norm, but…I’ve heard it and seen even crazier.
I was exactly that. For 7 years. If he traveled out of the area, I took him. The rest of the time I did my normal routine. Admittedly, after a couple years, I didn’t use the ap much. I’d made a habit out of driving between the hours of 4 AM and 6 AM in the Philly burbs. I’d set my destination filter to PHL Int’l. Lo and behold, most of what I got were airport runs.
It got me to thinking, anyone going out, has to come back. So I got cards printed and started handing them out. Soon, any time these people went to the airport, or their friends and family did, they were texting me.
A trip to the airport would cost them like, $50. I’d maybe see half of that. Going through me directly, I was charging $60 a way. And keeping it all. Plus tips. I had people that were routine business travelers. They would fly out on Monday and come home Thursday, spend theee days at home, and do it again. They lived where they lived but made way better money working elsewhere. I’d drive my people on nights out, especially nights like NYE, the evening before Thanksgiving, St Patty’s Day, etc.
Driving, if you can foster consistent ridership, is awesome and rewarding in a multitude of ways. You can make some great contacts for jobs that don’t involve driving. Which, is part of the reason I was able to quit doing rideshare and DoorDash
Is 1k enough? Youve got a 12 hr drive home for free after that. After gas and everything youre only taking home a few hundred for what is effectively 24hrs od work
I suppose it depends on the market. I would probably get a hotel after I dropped the guy off and then try to "work" my way back to my original destination the next day. If there are rides along the way back to my home area, then I think 1k would be fine.
And Lyft will make no money at all when rides are over the cap. People will choose other modes of transportation. Eventually Lyft will raise the cap to attract customers.
The rate is what it is for one reason and one reason only. Drivers eventually agree to.
If I ran Lyft, I would use an algorithm that always achieved the lowest price 90% of drivers are willing to accept on the low end (for short trips), and 30% of drivers are willing to accept on the high end (long trips) to keep costs down.
If customers are unable to fulfill rides in a reasonable time, the rate drivers would receive would gradually increase until someone took it, like a kind of auction. The rates would stay higher until queue times get below whatever metric indicates that customers go to another platform, then decrease again to maintain the point where we keep them and pay out as little as possible.
I’d pit you all against each other to get the minimum viable rides at the lowest wages you’ll tolerate.
Y’all are mad because as near as I can tell, this is very close to the system you chose to work in every time you accept a ride.
Considering the rider orders on the app (at least the dozen or so test orders I have made in these instances), Lyft does NOT show a fare. That said, Lyft will be free to help themselves at the expense of the driver.
Also considering the max driving is topped at 12 hrs... why the royal F are they letting pax even make these requests for service (1) for a fare TBD, and (2) exploiting drivers (ants included) for amounts far less than ANY rate card that existed (back in the good ol' days)?
about $10.50 an hour, after gas (assuming very generous MPG and gas prices), time spent driving back, and ignoring wear and tear on the vehicle. also ignoring the fact you need to sleep on the other end before returning, and assuming you can shotgun an 11 hour drive non-stop, and that the estimated time is accurate.
Maybe they have family or wanted to visit the other city. Sounds like some nice secondary income to lessen your trip costs. Maybe it's not about making money and instead saving money. I'm traveling this summer, if someone from my area had a job up to go to the same place or even a place directly on the way I would consider it. They would pay for most of the travel costs alone
There are a lot of flights between LAX and SFO for less than $300 and faster than 11 hours.
Edit: I just noticed it's from San Diego and not LAX. Still, traveling to LAX from San Diego and then taking a flight from LAX to SFO is more cost and time-effective.
I would do it just to get out of southern California and go to the Bay Area. My favorite place I have ever lived. Unfortunately it's too expensive . Even the seals live better than poor folks on the bay.
Huh, seems someone booked a ticket out of the wrong airport. Fairly common in here in Chicago, but jeez, this is like booking a flight out of O’Hare and you have to fly out of Jackson Mississippi airport.
Not trying to undermine you but the driver loses majority of that on the way there and back in just gas alone. Then they would have to hope they get rides on the way back that are headed in their direction. Also, he’s essentially on the road for over 24hrs all in the name of $300. Nothing makes sense about this ride.
This has to be one of the worst trips I have ever seen. There is a 0% chance to do this and come out making money. When you factor in fuel, depreciation, maintenance, and hourly pay? You aren't making good money and even if they tripled it? Not great especially for how much you have to drive.
Lyft is supposed to pay 70% of the passenger payment after deducting the external fee. If you're not receiving that amount, Lyft is underpaying you, period. I have calculated that Lyft has shorted me almost $500.00 from 01/01-03/31/2024. I will keep track for another few months and will more than likely file suit because "Support" can do nothing but read from a scripting book and back Lyft and its greed.
It looks like Lyft is not fully pay you for the trip because there is a cap. Not sure if this is even legal. Anything above $300 you are driving for free.
Pretty sure they have limitations on it last time I drove for them. I remember because of Lady wanted to change her destination to Vegas and didn't end up happening
Oh hell no, factoring gas and everything else, it should have been at least $1k and at least $500 tip. Cars have to rest for a while after running for 2-3 hrs. And you have to stop for gas which might cost you $35 per stop (after 2-3 of driving). It is recommended to stop and stretch yourself and let the vehicle rest for a bit before hitting the road again. Either you or customers must stop by somewhere to get food or drinks, unless you or they already prepared some beforehand. Depending on what type and what year your vehicle is, ymmv. Gas is very expensive right now, so I only estimate that you might have to spend at the minimum of $140-$175 just for that one trip. So in total, you'll have to spend around $280-$350 worth of gas. $1,5K makes sense to me at least cuz you also put your health and life on the line to make sure you safely drive them to the desired destination. Driving during the day, going home at night or driving during the night and going home at daytime, you still lost your sleep time and your health probably is gonna decrease significantly. So you have to ask yourself, is it worth it?
Modern cars (made since 1980) can drive a full tank of gas without stop. When I was a kid we regularly took our beater family car on 10-12 hour drives every summer and only stopped when the gas was almost out if no one got hungry, nauseous, or squirmy.
Someone with time on their side, that wants to make some money while discovering a new market? Someone that doesn’t mind making $300 plus tip in one day? Many people would jump on this offer.
12 hours with bathroom breaks (absolute minimum), so that’s $25/hr __BEFORE__ expenses.
In short. This person made $14-18/hr after all expenses paid (gas, wear and tear, etc.)
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats!

OK if lyft and Uber see robbing people and everyone knows this...why hasn't anyone came out with a rideshare app..that actually pays the driver half of what they charge ...
In my prius, I get ~58MPG at/around 55-65mph. (Tested LA to SD roundtrip)
Give or take, thats around $45 for the trip (I go to shell/chevron, I purchased these giftcard at bulk at staples when they had a 10% off promotion)
Depreciation in the prius, probably around $4-5, 100k and no big maintenance at all, besides a new set of tire, biggest W so far.
In short, not worth it, but I’d love to take it if I decided I want to go to SF trip
What a joke. That would have to be more than double that for me to take it. Probably the same cost to fly why would they drive? This ride has got to cost them $600.
Two things...
One, which driver accepted this request?
Secondly, one time, coming back from overseas, with a stop at JFK airport in NY, our connector to Baltimore was canceled. I was pretty young, but the easier and cheaper thing for my mom, and I remember her negotiating with the driver, was to take a cab from NYC down to Maryland with me and my sister... there are circumstances.
Lyft will only pay a maximum of $300 to its driver. This is why you find out what Lyft is charging the passenger and contact the passenger to tell him that you will take him for that amount, but he's to pay that directly to you.
Maybe they wanted to go to San Francisco anyway? I can imagine a driver having a family member in SF and deciding that picking up this ride would turn it into a good road trip/visit to their family.
UMMMMM, UGH, HELLO?! ***CLEARLY*** it's a ride for a Chinese monk that a Chinese civilian that is currently residing in America on a fradulent AND expired work visa is who accepted because he really wanted to visit China Town to get right wth his Chinese God for all the sins he committed in China and has been running from for the last 26 years!!!
#hOW UNCULTURED CAN YOU GET?
###LIKE DUH WTF ITS SOOOO OBVIOUS!
The $300 represents the 300 days the monks must convert their diet into a fully vegetarian diet before the initiation of Maranasati!
(*To become capable of using 100% of their brain they require the knowledge and to development of critical thinking, to emphasize solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice as well as to become aware of animal rights and to become aware of the equality among people regardless of their situation!! It's very important!*)
***DONT YOU AMERICANS KNOW ANYTHING, OMG?!***
That only averages $13.46 an hour round trip, which doesn't include tip, gas, etc.... also, your entire 12 hours would have been spent on the app.... nope!
The situation is messed up all around. Time for round trip is 15.5 hours. Unless you don’t plan on sleeping, then go for it. The only saving grace is that the destination is an airport, which should ensure a small ride back. Using the destination filter to find rides back to your home location to help. time estimate is WRONG. Apple Maps & Waze have this trip at 7 hr 45 minutes and total of 494 miles.
Federal Rate for tax deduction of Depreciation (wear/tare/maintenance) & Gasoline is $0.60/mile.
494 miles x $0.60= $296.40
So you are only taxed on $3.60
Not sure but the ONLY justification I can see how ride share companies think that the payment is adequate is breaking down wage & time. Strictly speaking as total pay ($300) for hours of work(7:45) equals $38.71/hr. California minimum wage is $16/hr. Payment for this gig is more double (242%) the state minimum wage.
Is it unfair, TOTALLY. Only thing to do is strike but it’s not a viable option as someone will decide to accept the rides regardless. So bend over & hope they have lube.
The fact that the passenger was a 4.6 is almost as bad as these morons who think anybody would take an 11hr trip for $300 that’s under $30/hr plus the return trip dead heading caused they are gonna drop kick ya off and likely you’d need a hotel depending on how long you’ve been up.
I would do this.... for $1000 USD.
I’ve done many rides like this.
How much did you spend on gas lol
One way is 500 miles. Assuming 30 MPG and $5 per gallon, that's $93 and change. Edit: of course it's only one way and does not account for ANYTHING else. I was just simply calculating the gas cost.
Don't forget all the milage on your car, you're meals and chances are you are sleeping in your car just to break even
Mileage can depreciate a car by say, $0.05. And then there is maintenance, 600 miles is like 12% of the way towards the next oil change. Add those up and could be another $50. So half of the ride is eaten up with gas and mileage expenses. $150 for a 12 hour drive is $12.50/h. The state min wage is $16/h (or $20 for fast food workers!)
Depreciation is calculated at .37 cents per mile not including gas/wear.
So at 100k miles a $37k car should be free
MAKE IT SO
Yeah he’s just quoting a business capital depreciation rate which fully depreciates over 5 years. Computer hardware, office furniture, kitchen great, etc is the same - it’s certainly not worth nothing after 5 years, but it’s simpler to fully depreciate it.

Assuming most drivers aren’t driving $80k Mercedes I went at the lower end.
Yup that is just gas. Time is the most expensive resource in the equation.
And don’t forget the trip back
And $93 and change for the ride back no? Presumably without a passenger. Really doesn't seem worth it.
And that’s only one way💀 you’re still across the state and have to drive back
Do you spend the night in your car? That's a long one way way to go.
You don’t factor in your time along with wearing and tear and how much you make per mile after all expenses?
iGuapo
maybe he got lucky and got this ride back to where he started?
A fair bit. But I had a regular that travelled for business a lot. He refused to fly. His company reimbursed all his travel and really didn’t seem to care about the cost. I drove him from Philadelphia to Boston a few times. Philadelphia to NYC several times, and even drove him to Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago. Paid gas, tolls, food, accommodations (both ways).

Dude, you shoulda offered to be his personal driver with something like that. I’m not a driver for anything, but I’d be down to do that for a bit.
I was exactly that. For 7 years. If he traveled out of the area, I took him. The rest of the time I did my normal routine. Admittedly, after a couple years, I didn’t use the ap much.

It's 560mi one way, a usual sedan gets around 350-400mi to the tank. So, 4 tanks of gas worth at most
Youre an idiot ill smoke it all makes sense your so high you are okay with this
Is 1k enough? Youve got a 12 hr drive home for free after that. After gas and everything youre only taking home a few hundred for what is effectively 24hrs od work

Capping what we can make should be illegal
You only have to get nearly everyone to refuse the rides over the cap to make them change it.
No it wouldn't They would just say no drivers available
And Lyft will make no money at all when rides are over the cap. People will choose other modes of transportation. Eventually Lyft will raise the cap to attract customers. The rate is what it is for one reason and one reason only. Drivers eventually agree to.

I would’ve taken it , I’m in san diego and have family in Sanfran that would’ve been a good excuse to spend the weekend over there lol
That was my first thought, that or they were already making the drive to see family and had this come up.
1,120 miles round trip, so figure $175+ in gas. $125 profit for a 22 hour round trip drive is $5.68/hour. You must really want to see your family lol
$300 is crazy when it’s so expensive to go from OC to LA
about $10.50 an hour, after gas (assuming very generous MPG and gas prices), time spent driving back, and ignoring wear and tear on the vehicle. also ignoring the fact you need to sleep on the other end before returning, and assuming you can shotgun an 11 hour drive non-stop, and that the estimated time is accurate.

Lyft shows the rides to different drivers with different amounts; so they see if the low paying offers get picked first
Customer tipped 1/2 kilo 😂
Nah he’s hitting up Hong Kong brothel the homies told me about it
They'd be going the opposite way if that was true.
Guarantee the rider is carrying drugs or contraband that can't be brought on a plane. Why else?
Fear of flying
But not afraid of airports.
At least $24k street value. Not bad
That’s 24 hours of driving 😂 make it make sense
I would accept this but call the rider to work out a cash deal instead of only 300
Maybe their connecting flight got cancelled
There are a lot of flights between LAX and SFO for less than $300 and faster than 11 hours. Edit: I just noticed it's from San Diego and not LAX. Still, traveling to LAX from San Diego and then taking a flight from LAX to SFO is more cost and time-effective.
Hopefully they negotiated a off app ride.. Otherwise the driver is an idiot
My friend. Yall are just too funny. If u think the driver didn't pull up and ask for 450 on cash app or more ur a goofball.
I would do it just to get out of southern California and go to the Bay Area. My favorite place I have ever lived. Unfortunately it's too expensive . Even the seals live better than poor folks on the bay.
Huh, seems someone booked a ticket out of the wrong airport. Fairly common in here in Chicago, but jeez, this is like booking a flight out of O’Hare and you have to fly out of Jackson Mississippi airport.
PLEASE quit posting this garbage. Instead of whining, try doing something positive like organizing drivers in your market.
Exactly! " Hey guys look at this crappy offer!" If I screenshotted and posted every crappy offer I got I would do nothing but that.
Isn’t this post kinda like organizing drivers? Odd.
If you don’t like it ignore it and move on!!!
Why do you think other people want to hear you whine?
Rents due next day probably and they need it fast. And he or she will just sleep in their car after they drop pax off.
Not trying to undermine you but the driver loses majority of that on the way there and back in just gas alone. Then they would have to hope they get rides on the way back that are headed in their direction. Also, he’s essentially on the road for over 24hrs all in the name of $300. Nothing makes sense about this ride.
What about the passenger? It’s cheaper to buy a 1 way plane ticket, and a much better experience I’m sure. Idk why someone would be ordering this
I wouldn't want to be stuck in a car for 10 hours with a 4.6 pax.
Id deny that just based on the passengers rating alone.. before even noticing the fare.. lol
someone should tell the rider about planes
This is like $7Hour after gas woow
I’d do it for over 1k which Lyft is charging btw
A human who is attempting to reach the epitome of being an absolute slave
This has to be one of the worst trips I have ever seen. There is a 0% chance to do this and come out making money. When you factor in fuel, depreciation, maintenance, and hourly pay? You aren't making good money and even if they tripled it? Not great especially for how much you have to drive.

It looks like Lyft is not fully pay you for the trip because there is a cap. Not sure if this is even legal. Anything above $300 you are driving for free.
Someone missed a flight
Bro could’ve just taken a flight for like $300
Only 300$????
Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!
It's just that someone already posted this. I recognize the 4.6 rated rider, trip and fare. It's bad. We get it.
I got a be and idiot take this kind of ride !!!
300 is the max Pay that Lyft will pay a basic level driver.
What makes you think someone took it?
Pretty sure they have limitations on it last time I drove for them. I remember because of Lady wanted to change her destination to Vegas and didn't end up happening
8.5 hr drive. Gps is off.
How does Prop 22 affect this final payout? Honestly wondering since I'm on the ec
Maybe they were already planning on driving to SF
Cheaper than a flight
Lyft max pay is 300. This ride should be 500 min.
Air tickets are $90, it's looks fake for me.
My question is why 1 airport to another
Or their flight was canceled and they needed to be at the other airport by a certain time.
Dude that’s what I’d make as a trucker for those miles in a day
4.6, no! Cocaine - yes! 🤣🤣
Pu they glasses on again
Way to much money for driver give you 100
Uber would’ve paid at least 1k
Mr T. He didn't want to be drugged this time.
Thankfully, I work in an area where there are virtually no long-distance rides. All my rides are 10 and under.
Take the train next time
Oh hell no, factoring gas and everything else, it should have been at least $1k and at least $500 tip. Cars have to rest for a while after running for 2-3 hrs. And you have to stop for gas which might cost you $35 per stop (after 2-3 of driving). It is recommended to stop and stretch yourself and let the vehicle rest for a bit before hitting the road again. Either you or customers must stop by somewhere to get food or drinks, unless you or they already prepared some beforehand. Depending on what type and what year your vehicle is, ymmv. Gas is very expensive right now, so I only estimate that you might have to spend at the minimum of $140-$175 just for that one trip. So in total, you'll have to spend around $280-$350 worth of gas. $1,5K makes sense to me at least cuz you also put your health and life on the line to make sure you safely drive them to the desired destination. Driving during the day, going home at night or driving during the night and going home at daytime, you still lost your sleep time and your health probably is gonna decrease significantly.

Cars don’t have to rest after 2-3 hours of driving. That’s ridiculous.
That’s nuts
Damn that’s actually not that bad.
Someone with time on their side, that wants to make some money while discovering a new market? Someone that doesn’t mind making $300 plus tip in one day? Many people would jump on this offer.
Amtrak is like $35
12 hours with bathroom breaks (absolute minimum), so that’s $25/hr __BEFORE__ expenses. In short. This person made $14-18/hr after all expenses paid (gas, wear and tear, etc.)

OK if lyft and Uber see robbing people and everyone knows this...why hasn't anyone came out with a rideshare app..that actually pays the driver half of what they charge ...
Fear of planes
If a trip takes 12 hours to do lyft should pay at least half for the drive back
Don’t cry it’s more money than you would have gotten in the same time
Basically cancels out to earn nothing. 👍👌
Perhaps someone already going that way for leisure and Lyfts to get their trip paid for?
$300 bucks of a 11hr ride? That's $1.88 per mile. Sometime you factor this into your vacation if you don't have a vehicle or a license.
I paid 80 for a ride to the airport and it was only 25 mins
I'm surprised that more drivers don't offer to cancel the ride, and charge riders less through venmo
It’d literally be cheaper to fly there
That a low for 11 hours 300 damn
I had a friend take a ride from New York City to the mountains of VA. He wanted to get home. It’s was worth it to him.
Ok this person probably missed their flight. I just wonder, what’s wrong with taking the train…
Only if they offered something like an airplane that would take someone between those two places
That's a bargain. I paid that to go from JFK to Philly
The IRS reimbursement rate on 1120 miles is $750. So if you’re not making at least that, you’re losing out. Should really be $1000
I did
Someone who got tired of their frontier flights being cancelled
In my prius, I get ~58MPG at/around 55-65mph. (Tested LA to SD roundtrip) Give or take, thats around $45 for the trip (I go to shell/chevron, I purchased these giftcard at bulk at staples when they had a 10% off promotion) Depreciation in the prius, probably around $4-5, 100k and no big maintenance at all, besides a new set of tire, biggest W so far. In short, not worth it, but I’d love to take it if I decided I want to go to SF trip
I’m confused as to why this ride takes over 11 hours
Gas
I’d assume the guy who got kicked off or missed his flight took that Lyft ride.
$300?? It cost me $60 to take a 20 min ride to the airport lol. This is like an 8hr drive.
300? Lollll should be 3000.
Cali traffic
I bet the rider paid 800
Maybe whomever took it was already taking a trip to San Francisco and get paid, at least something.
Before taxes, gas, wear and tear on your car this is like $13 an hour
You can fly for less than that lol
What a joke. That would have to be more than double that for me to take it. Probably the same cost to fly why would they drive? This ride has got to cost them $600.
Sausalito Summernight on a map.
I would have accepted this ride if the price was $560. I’m not interested in any ride that pays less than a dollar per mile
That seems fake
I seen this on a documentary a driver thought she knew the customer started doing on her own got her throat cut
i dont know whats worse… the idiot that book this ride when they could just book a plane ride for $200 or the one that accepted. 🤦🏻♂️
If only there was another way to travel between airports in a much shorter period of time.
Im guessing people who might live in their car and door dash for there $
Lmao someone's connecting flight got cancelled or their car got a deep search coming in from tj
As a customer this isn’t terrible if I really needed to be at SFO and the flights wouldn’t work out.
Someone afraid of flying or was a recent airline meme and banned from flying.
Hopefully they got a killer price on the plane tickets!
Well, all you need is a trip from LA to San Francisco now! Win 😂😂😂
Somebody paid to drive someone 11 hours lmfao
Actually ngl, if you upped the price I’d take it since I know someone in San Francisco that can offer me a place to stay
Two things... One, which driver accepted this request? Secondly, one time, coming back from overseas, with a stop at JFK airport in NY, our connector to Baltimore was canceled. I was pretty young, but the easier and cheaper thing for my mom, and I remember her negotiating with the driver, was to take a cab from NYC down to Maryland with me and my sister... there are circumstances.
Lyft will only pay a maximum of $300 to its driver. This is why you find out what Lyft is charging the passenger and contact the passenger to tell him that you will take him for that amount, but he's to pay that directly to you.
F that
not a driver but 300 for 12 hour drive, coming from someone who makes 100 working 8 hours a day i would take this for sure
They should make $1.50 mile the lowest payout for drivers. There and back not just one way.
Damn. And I thought I was extra for taking Lyft from Seattle to Tacoma once.
I just assume they are moving drugs
Airport to airport? They’re moving some shit and need a driver that doesn’t know
How does this shit even work?! Do you also get a hotel with this complete stranger too? I don’t understand!
Maybe they wanted to go to San Francisco anyway? I can imagine a driver having a family member in SF and deciding that picking up this ride would turn it into a good road trip/visit to their family.
Please don’t tell me the rider then went to the Lyft area at the SFO airport and requested another ride
For drugs
They must be hitting up Las Vegas on the way back with all those earnings
Fuck! Seriously?? Buy a plane or train ticket. Also that should be $800. Sitting in a car with a stranger for that long— no thanks
Probably a lot cheaper than a flight and at this point infinitely safer if the plane’s a Boeing.
UMMMMM, UGH, HELLO?! ***CLEARLY*** it's a ride for a Chinese monk that a Chinese civilian that is currently residing in America on a fradulent AND expired work visa is who accepted because he really wanted to visit China Town to get right wth his Chinese God for all the sins he committed in China and has been running from for the last 26 years!!! #hOW UNCULTURED CAN YOU GET? ###LIKE DUH WTF ITS SOOOO OBVIOUS! The $300 represents the 300 days the monks must convert their diet into a fully vegetarian diet before the initiation of Maranasati! (*To become capable of using 100% of their brain they require the knowledge and to development of critical thinking, to emphasize solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice as well as to become aware of animal rights and to become aware of the equality among people regardless of their situation!! It's very important!*) ***DONT YOU AMERICANS KNOW ANYTHING, OMG?!***
Making 300 for a 12 hour shifts pretty good I make that it in a week if take that for one day as driving
That only averages $13.46 an hour round trip, which doesn't include tip, gas, etc.... also, your entire 12 hours would have been spent on the app.... nope!
$300??? It costs me $100 to go from lax to dtla lol
Brrrrrah!!!
Some real dummies driving from Sam Diego damn
Then 500 miles back
Might aswell fly
3 an hour no way in hell could you make me do this
The best part is “tolls paid back after ride,” as if you’re investing your own money in the company
I only fly Qantas
Very possible they had someone to visit or business to do in southern Cali and got paid for the trip down.
That should be a minimum of $500 that's being nice. Plus that ride should be about 8.5hrs not 11hrs
It is literally $19 to fly to San Francisco from San Diego right now on frontier airlines. Why would anyone ever do this on a Lyft?
I drove rideshare. It's not worth it at all.
I don’t know why these kind of trips exist who the hell is paying hundreds of dollars to take a freaking Lyft and Uber.. must be rich, rich
Scam got me thru Uber eats like that
I need another 300.00 😂😂😂
Even dollar offers are ALWAYS lowball.
Accept, then go pick up the rider and give 10% discount and get cash. F Lyft and uber
The situation is messed up all around. Time for round trip is 15.5 hours. Unless you don’t plan on sleeping, then go for it. The only saving grace is that the destination is an airport, which should ensure a small ride back. Using the destination filter to find rides back to your home location to help. time estimate is WRONG. Apple Maps & Waze have this trip at 7 hr 45 minutes and total of 494 miles. Federal Rate for tax deduction of Depreciation (wear/tare/maintenance) & Gasoline is $0.60/mile. 494 miles x $0.60= $296.40 So you are only taxed on $3.60 Not sure but the ONLY justification I can see how ride share companies think that the payment is adequate is breaking down wage & time. Strictly speaking as total pay ($300) for hours of work(7:45) equals $38.71/hr. California minimum wage is $16/hr. Payment for this gig is more double (242%) the state minimum wage. Is it unfair, TOTALLY. Only thing to do is strike but it’s not a viable option as someone will decide to accept the rides regardless. So bend over & hope they have lube.
That ride was worth at least $2500
The flight between those two cost less than that Lyft did!
The fact that the passenger was a 4.6 is almost as bad as these morons who think anybody would take an 11hr trip for $300 that’s under $30/hr plus the return trip dead heading caused they are gonna drop kick ya off and likely you’d need a hotel depending on how long you’ve been up.
I took this ride) they tip me $800
Wtf not even a dollar per mile.
Somebody got put on the no fly list…🤣🤣🤣
Assuming a decent tip this wouldn't be terrible. But then what do you do once you drop them off?
$250 for a flight tomorrow between.
Someone that was going there anyways.
