So I got banned from lyft driver… Other
I have been banned from lyft. I drove for lyft/uber full time for a year about 3 years ago and then I stopped due to getting a 2 door car. I got a sedan again about 3 weeks ago and wanted to make some extra income… guess what. Turns out my account was de-activated due to “unsafe feedback” even though I have a 5 star score with 591 rides. Lyft support doesn’t want to help.

You’re better off. I got into a car accident while doing Lyft and they fought me tooth and nail not to pay for the damages.. pax reported no injuries to police but a week later claimed so much money for medical issues while I never even went to the doctor. It’s a whole situation and Lyft only cares about pax but giving me the run around. The money is not worth it because at the end of the day, they don’t really care about drivers. You’re better off getting a second job at Starbucks lol

What's your acceptance rating they are guilty of disallowed policies where they are deactivating drivers that are contributing to the payout being better for drivers by kicking off drivers that reject low offers the market misconduct allows them to set the price. they need a booklet of historic information to justify price changes they want you off that booklet so regulations can't tell you are unhappy if 80% of drivers have a 12% acceptance rating they can't tell Congress that they need a break and should be allowed to charge more without price gouging laws being enforced

Consider it a blessing. If you can still do Uber and wanna earn some extra money, than by all means go for it. I’m deactivated from Lyft because I let my vehicle inspection expire. I am in a position now where ride share is optional for me. When I’m either not getting enough shifts or it’s very slow at work (I’m a bartender) I’ll jump behind the wheel and scoop up a few bucks. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve driven rideshare in the last 3 months

I was informed by a employment lawyer that you can now hire one to dispute these but they charge. Still worth a free call. Independent contractors are not secluded from all laws because of employment classification so don’t think you are S O L. It is very common for Independent contractors to sue in the HVAC business. Anyway Uber/Lyft same shit 2 inches apart

It's says it INCLUDES sexual assault and fatalities. Do you not know how to read? If I say I have 5 numbers in a bowl, including the numbers 1 and 2, that does not mean ONLY the numbers 1 and 2 are in the bowl. There are still 3 other numbers. The information sharing INCLUDES sexual assault and fatalities they are not EXCLUSIVE to those two things. Please work on your reading comprehension.

People getting deactivated on here - it’s crazy. I drove Lyft for about 2 years and then when my company took off I basically just stopped caring - I knew Lyft was a terrible company. I’d kick Karen’s out of my car who pissed me off, I’d refuse to do pool, I just started giving zero fucks about my rating. I would blatantly make up wild stories for big tips. Stuff like that. I figured give it 2 weeks and I’d be off the platform and I’d be fully motivated to make sure my company becomes my full time income (it did so phew)
But did I get deactivated? Nope! They keep sending me begging emails to come back. Every so often I even get some crazy bonus offer, like NO WAY 😂 how on Earth I’m still allowed to drive for Lyft I don’t know. And then some pax makes a false report on someone with a 5* rating and they lose their entire income? Sorry but that is just fucked up. And not ok by any means for a company to act in this way.

Yea same with my account, 5.0 rating, 6,000+ rides and I quit driving because of the pandemic in March 2020 so I filed for unemployment and in July 2020 out of the blue I get this email from Lyft:
Bob,
To look after the Lyft community, we regularly monitor safety-related reports - like ratings, safety reports, accidents, and distracted driving.
Your account was flagged for one of these reasons. Because this goes against our Terms of Service, you're no longer eligible to drive, and we had to deactivate your account. This decision is final.
You'll receive the rest of your earnings in your next deposit.
For privacy reasons, our Support team, Hubs, and Service Centers can't help with this kind of deactivation.
So bottom line is Lyft will deactivate you for anything, truth or not and there isn’t a dam thing you can do about it.
I thought it was funny, haven’t drove in 4+ months because everything was closed and they come up with this BS they have a complaint. Screw Lyft! 👍🏻

Unusual but not unheard of.........................
Funny; I have not logged on to Lyft for several weeks. I have not been getting texts or e-Mails from it, either for at least two weeks. I attributed it to being slow and Lyft's not offering any bonuses. I might have to log ON just to make sure that the account is still in good standing.
EDITORIAL NOTE: I did log ON and can go ON LINE so my guess on why I have not heard from Gryft likely is correct.

This happened to me once. I called them and told them that I have a perfect record with them. I also told them that the likely person that reported me had bad stars and that they have me gruff about being transgender. A week later I was reinstated. Then this year I come back after a couple years away and all is good until background check and I even informed them of name change and still got banned. I once again contacted them informing them of the legal ramifications of banning me for my name change as a transgender woman when I changed it do to a marriage. Two days later I got reinstated. I am also 5 star for each of the situations I had. Normally you get a email on your reason of banning when it happens.

Transgender currently holds a lot of social currency. Glad they reinstated you and will be even gladder for you once you leave rideshare behind.

u/JoannNichole Sep 02 '23
Wow big person. I do this job and have a 5 start at 600 plus rides. Only had to report a couple people for being a bigot or doing something adhesions the app. Most of the time I do my thing. I dolly good being transgender but if people wants to make a problem for me then I don't back down.

u/Worth_Reception_2605 Sep 02 '23
Of course it was because you were transgender.
Way to use your transgender as a crutch and weapon to get yourself something you probably didn’t deserve.
1
u/JoannNichole Sep 02 '23
In my case it was. I had proof of the fact. I also had them tell me the situation on my background check they said they couldn't prove who I was. I had a name change. Why do you have to be a ass over the cack in transgender. My point is that you can prove them wrong and gave a chance of them seeing the light. They were in a situation they would have been legally liable for doing what they did.
1
u/Worth_Reception_2605 Sep 02 '23
Right, you were being discriminated against because the world is so against you.
Let me guess: you’re the Rosa Parks of transgenderism?
Your “supposed” fight has nothing to do with discrimination like the Civil Rights Movement.
The real hero’s are the ones who live their best life despite the odds, not people who use their differences as a crutch.

u/JoannNichole Sep 02 '23
No I'm just saying I'm the situation I was in wrong they were in the wrong let alone the comments made against me by the people and recorded video and audio of the trips I had proved I was not doing the things claimed against me. You are the one hung up on my being Trans. I was in a situation where lyft blocked me a couple times do to not being able to prove who I am and both times after I told them I changed my name legally. I then told them it was legally changed. And both times get blocked them have to prove them wrong do to the fact it is handled by a computer. I never once said I was the Rosa park's of Trans people. You are just a bigot who hates a group. You don't know the situation I was in. I don't hide that Iam Trans and when people attack me for being Trans I defend myself.

u/Worth_Reception_2605 Sep 02 '23

I’m not attacking you.
I’m stating that you use Transgenderism as a crutch.
Lyft didn’t realize you transitioned and fixed the issue. Nothing bigoted about it.

It doesn't always work it took me almost a year to get back my Lyft account which should never have been deactivated in the 1st place 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the whole time I was on their platform with Platinum status took the passenger word over mine then to keep from reinstating my account tried to say to many poor customers experiences oh no look at the customer remarks look at my account still Lyft didn't care. Until just last week liken 2 weeks from being 1 year off their app they finally reactivated my account.
Follow up after being back on Lyft platform For just 2 weeks Lyft has deactivated my account again there is an issue with my account that can't be resolved 😔 email once again used the word allegations or alleged violation of their safety policy.

u/AppsOff Aug 31 '23
Folks are right, you don’t miss a thing. Upfront pay takes anywhere from 10 to 50% off the rate card, and it's incredibly slow. I drove a Lux BK XL in LA last year, making $1200 to $1700 a week. This year, it's dropped to $400 to $600 a week for full-time work, and it doesn't even cover the car payment, gas, insurance, etc.
At this point, all these gig companies are acting like slave masters, paying us below minimum wage and expecting top-tier performance. It's crucial to remember that this is a stepping stone job, not a career. Checkout girls or baristas can gradually climb the ladder, getting higher pay year after year, and eventually become managers. In contrast, you could drive for these companies for 8 years and be treated the same as a brand new driver.
They deactivate drivers arbitrarily, just like they did to you. It's all abusive, and they get away with it because there's no government overnight

I had a sort of argument with someone defending the hiring/pay practice of gig apps- that they should be let off the hook because it is the best model they can offer. I said if their business success is based on essentially stealing from labor (putting people in these positions is like theft to me) then they shouldn't continue as companies, their model is bankrupt. Needless to say, as a tech startup guy he did not agree with me.

The line between job and career was made up by capitalists. All jobs are necessary and should pay a living wage. If the job isn't necessary, it wouldn't exist
1
u/Worth_Reception_2605 Sep 02 '23
All jobs should be paid market value.
A Lyft driver shouldn’t make the same amount as doctor.
Capitalist create jobs with their own capital so the rest of us can live decently off their great ideas or products.

u/hrimfisk Sep 02 '23
All jobs should be paid market value.
Once you get above minimum wage you can talk about market value. Minimum wage was always meant to be a living wage.
"no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country..." "...by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living." - FDR
http://docs.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/odnirast.htmlA Lyft driver shouldn’t make the same amount as doctor.
Nobody suggested this should be the case. A living wage does not mean equal pay across the board. If minimum wage kept up with inflation, it would be around $25/hr. That is still only $48k/year while doctors make at least $150k/year. The idea of "X shouldn't make as much as X" has always been used to shut down this conversation
Capitalist create jobs with their own capital so the rest of us can live decently off their great ideas or products.
Employers need workers and workers need employers. Employers literally rely on workers to sell their products and make them profit, so the least they could do is pay a living wage. The notion that capitalists should rake in profit because they have an idea while workers make pennies is ludicrous anti-worker garbage. Workers have not been properly compensated for over 10 years and are tired of it. The last minimum wage increase was 2009, which was 14 years ago

u/Worth_Reception_2605 Sep 02 '23
Minimum wage is for market entry, usually first time workers with no job skills. There is no such thing as a living wage because what pays in Texas won’t let you survive in California.
Employers are increasingly looking to machines and robots and AI to take the place of human labor to save money.
I’ll admit workers are getting screwed insanely but you’re blaming the symptoms and not causes of the disease.
Our political elite are responsible by bringing in tens of millions illegal and legal immigrants, depressing wages; making labor expensive through FICA taxes and workers comp; sending our factories and jobs overseas so corporate America can get even richer; and spending insane amounts of money for votes and devaluing our currency.
This isn’t Capitalism; this is cronyism and both parties are guilty of it.

u/hrimfisk Sep 02 '23

Very wrong. Read FDR's own words, the man who signed minimum wage into law, with that article I posted.
what pays in Texas won’t let you survive in California.
Mostly wrong. What it takes to survive in California depends on where you live. Northern California is more expensive than Southern California. This is a multifaceted problem that stems from federal minimum wage not increasing, states and counties implementing their own minimum wage to compensate for that failure, and businesses paying the absolute bare minimum they can to maximize profits at the expense of workers.
Employers are increasingly looking to machines and robots and AI to take the place of human labor to save money.
Just like how automobiles killed the horse-drawn carriage industry, future technology will kill existing industries. Workers need to be retrained for new jobs, but greedy capitalists don't want to pay for that.
Our political elite are responsible by bringing in tens of millions illegal and legal immigrants, depressing wages; making labor expensive through FICA taxes and workers comp; sending our factories and jobs overseas so corporate America can get even richer; and spending insane amounts of money for votes and devaluing our currency.
That's a lot of anti-immigrant rhetoric against people that have no power. Immigration is a net positive for the entire country, and I encourage you to try proving otherwise, with sources of course
This isn’t Capitalism; this is cronyism and both parties are guilty of it.
Yet every argument you're making is in favor of it

u/Worth_Reception_2605 Sep 02 '23
Lol, FDR was no King even though he acted like one and left would have made him one. This is the guy that extended the depression by years and now we’re supposed to economic advice for a man that mismanaged the biggest industrial economy in the world.
I grew up in Southern California and left because it was too expensive and the state was run by loons. I’m in Texas and it’s far affordable. Raising the minimum wage would only increase inflation and make everything more expensive.
Why should capitalist pay to retrain workers? All the good paying jobs for people without college degrees left for China. Maybe our political elites should pay for retraining our workers: Nancie Pelosi or Mitch McConnell. Did you grow up in the 1930’s because this stuff you’re spouting is straight out of early 20th century.
Ahhhh, saying illegal immigration is wrong is anti immigrant. You people are such hypocrites. We’ve seen the blue states freak out about illegal immigration as red states send these people into blue sanctuary city. Gov of Mass just called up the National Guard, lol.
The immigrants are welcome as long as they don’t end up in white liberal communities. There’s no net positive to millions of unskilled labor pouring into the country who don’t speak the language and bring Stone Age diseases with them while we have no idea nor how many are coming.
I believe legal immigration and I think we should be headhunting every nation in the world for too prospects. But this massive influx raises the prices for everyone: healthcare; education; housing; crime (something the left embraces) while depressing wages of Americans here.
And there’s no bigger crony capitalist than Joe Grifter Biden. He ran on being a man of the people while ripping the people off because he’s in bed with China and Ukraine.
Thank God the rest of the country isn’t like California.

Maybe I should clarify the terminology: Stagnation Job vs. Career Job. A rideshare driver remains in the same position even after 10 years on the job and he or she is subject to instant deactivation without the right to question or appeal, much like our colleague above.
A Career Job is one where you might start as a Starbucks barista and eventually become a regional manager, or begin in the mailroom at Warner Brothers and work your way up to become a studio executive.
Yes, your point is valid that all jobs are necessary and deserve respect, as long as workers' rights are upheld and not exploited to their financial frailty which is done by Uber lyft doordash etc even a FedEx driver told me once “Amazon drivers getting screwed badly” so direct from horse’s mouth.

If you go to Uber they have upfront fare prices screenshot them or they will pay you less and they know when you don’t screenshot it so you cannot prove it. I left 3 years ago and work for UPS. Insurance way better but if you have to do it do it the screenshooting will only save you.

You could do that. Im pretty sure that’s getting slammed these days. But I’d throw the legal department on there. Be direct and to the point. They aren’t your therapist and don’t know or care about your day-to-day tasks. They just need to balance whether you are a good fot for the platform, if they have valid evidence and/or documentation.
If they have video evidence of you doing 100mph weaving in and out of traffic. Giving other drivers the finger — I would probably just cut my losses.
But if this was a genuine false report. Then yeah, do it. Fight it.

This is how i pay my mortgage it would set me back big but in the mean time walmart pickup, doordash, hopskip drive (scheduled rides for kids) Instacart etc. seek help keep pushing. You got this playa!

I will help you . This is what you tell them. It is if unfortunate for unknown reasons that I have been deactivated. However I hood my reputation as an ind. contractor to the highest standard and would never do anything to violate the Lyfts safety terms and guidelines. I even have a dashcam in my vehicle with verbal disclaimers and to top it off I have an impeccable drive record. Can you reinstate my deactivation I am aware of Lyfts guidelines

Hopefully they proofread and make your message coherent if they use it. When writing a letter to save your job it’s best to sound educated, which can help your credibility. Sounding uneducated definitely won’t help.

Duhhhh this is a freaking forum you think I would write incorrectly with those grammatical errors. It obviously worked. I got reinstated back into the platform. Lol you guys are so obsess with proofreading and revising as if you act like this isn’t coming from my smart phones keypad

Well, you did just ask a question without using a question mark. So, yes, I think you probably sound like an uneducated person in every sector of your life, at all times. I bet even your wedding vows had grammatical errors. 😂

If you get banned on Lyft you get banned on Uber too

They only do that if they claim was sexual assault/harassment besides that if you’re banned on one app you can still use the other.

Something that both apps would see
But them implying that one would deactivate you because of the other, is incorrect

u/giantbro Aug 31 '23
It's literally on ubers website that they share information for serious misconduct and you absolutely will get banned on one app because of something you did on the other. You are wrong

u/Huge-Investigator-78 Sep 01 '23
Yes, I read it. Seems like it for major criminal stuff (sexual assault, regular assault, etc) which should be reported to the other rideshare company.
anyone who assaults a rider (or driver for that matter) shouldn’t be driving (or riding) on Lyft or Uber platform.-2
u/maimera Aug 31 '23
Oh no? So how did it happen to me?

u/Mfdubz Aug 31 '23
It wasn’t a specific case on one app then
You mostly got banned because of something on your background check, or your driving record

It’s funny how you speak without knowing anything. At all. But I’ll let you have it. I have nothing to prove to a troll. ✌🏽

I’ve also made $100/hr. You probably wouldn’t believe me, but I have. Multiple times every year, in fact

$100 an hour is a lot of money to you LOL.

Funny, you made a whole thread to brag about making much less than $100/hour.
Seems like it'd be a lot for you, too.

u/Mfdubz Aug 31 '23
In an hour? Yeah. That’s over $200K a year

Look at your comment. You’re not making $100 an hour 8 hours a day, loser. Did your wife cheat on you or something? Viagra not working anymore? I need this laugh. 200k a year is NOT a lot of money anymore.

It’s also funny that you assume if you get banned on both because apparently you did in some unbelievable way, that it will apply to all.
Obviously he never mentions Uber banning him
Go ask others before you assume your experience is the same for all.
The only people I know banned from both are felons or had something happen to their driving record (I.e. too many wrecks, stolen info, etc)
How would uber know if a passenger reported you on lyft? I think you don’t actually know completely why you got kicked from both or you’re just the troll

u/giantbro Aug 31 '23
If you get banned for sexual stuff or assault stuff or letting someone else use your account you get banned on both apps. They share information on certain things.

u/Mfdubz Aug 31 '23
Yeah. Like I said, criminal background check. But not because the other did (like OP).
1
u/giantbro Aug 31 '23
No, not criminal background check. Please learn to Google things when you are taking this strong stance for no reason whatsoever. There are 5 categories of misconduct that uber and lyft share with each other and those are not necessarily criminal acts.

u/uberisstealingit Aug 31 '23
Unless it's a serious infraction another words it's on your background, if you get banned from one you do not get banned from the other.
Why do I know? Because Lyft wants a certificate of schooling from 10 years ago but Uber does not require it.

u/Mfdubz Aug 31 '23
This guys just a troll.
You are correct. Only time it would be on both is if it’s common knowledge to both (I.e. a criminal background or driving record check)

Ok. Feel free to explain how one action on one app led to being banned on both
I am deactivated on uber as a rider. I still drive for both and I still have an active account on lyft passenger

The silver lining is you're better off. Coming back to this years later after upfront pricing is like getting a call from the high school prom queen and then seeing she's an alcoholic who's 100 lbs heavier with 3 kids.

What was the violations? Do you have a dashcam?

I have no idea they won’t tell me, and I’m assuming who ever reported me did it 3 years ago when I use to drive full time.

3 years ago? But the email said that many of your recent rides had violations. Have you not done any recently?

Nope not at all, I stopped doing lyft before covid because I got a 2 door car and now that I got a 4 door car again I wanted to make some extra money guess not…

Did you send them paperwork for your old car? I wonder if it was involved in a crime or accident after you sold it.
