u/Due-Butterscotch9860

I updated the app today and have been driving all afternoon. I noticed that when I get a request, it no longer gives a preview of the destination, only the street corner coordinates. I’ve also stopped receiving ride Finder offers.

I’m not sure if this is testing for individual drivers are an attempt to curve cherry picking in light of high gas prices. I’m inclined to believe it’s the ladder, and that Lyft is trying to bully drivers into dead zones, knowing it’s what we are trying to avoid to save on high gas prices and recent pay cuts.

luckily, I know my city up and down, but I did get tricked into dead zone today and I will no longer accept trips if I do not know exactly where it’s going.

this past week, I’ve had a sharp uptick of passengers in Los Angeles asking me why it took so long to get a ride. Especially late this Friday and Saturday night. I tell my passengers that it’s a combination of high gas prices and Lyft slashing driver pay by roughly 20% last month.

I don’t know how worse this is going to get, but it looks like Lyft and Uber have struck themselves in the foot this time, pushing their drivers to the brink.
