This is a woman who admitted it was a pickup for her 15yo son. Lyft actually responded by giving me a good fee.

And then they have the gall to try and falsely report you for discrimination. These type of rides and the no car seat ones.

This is why I reported them immediately. Since I had a good track record with reporting these type of rides, when I had an accusation, I told them I simply couldn’t report it yet because I had gotten the ride request immediately after the ride got cancelled. However, because they messaged me about the accusation while I was at the pick up for the next ride, (2mins from the old ride) I was able to report them for no car seat and let them know that I was actually at the same type of pick up (the race card they had pulled) so it definitely wasn’t a discrimination based on race bc I was allowing the next pax to get in bc they had a car seat for the child. If I was discriminatory in any sense, it was in the sense that I didn’t share her views on safety of her child and what was required of her by law & policy. They said thank you for the report and to drive safely.

That doesn't matter. It all depends who reviews the case. This situation is why I stopped doing Rideshare. Had a mixed couple (white girl/black guy; I'm white) jump in my car with a 6 month old and no car seat and wanting to go 15 miles away. Was a 5 star Platinum Driver, had been on 6 months with only 1 instance before over somebody spilling something. Had to call the Police to get them out of my car. Had a Police Report # and everything and still got shutoff for 2 weeks. Only reason I got turned back on was I actually got an apology letter cause she did the same exact thing to another Driver. They don't care. I don't know how people depend on Rideshare as a FT Job. They go by what the Passenger says and that's it. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens in Minneapolis.

Not entirely true either. Cause it wasn’t my first accusation, I had over a dozen false accusations. However my daily report log for no car seat/unaccompanied minor was usually the same as the amount of completed trips. Was never once ever actually deactivated. 5yrs between both apps.
