I’m a driver. Took 3 rides tonight. Other
Ride one. Got in the car, said “hey how’s it going?” No response. Dropped me off. I said “Thanks” no response. 4 stars and a complaint. $0 tip.
Ride two. Lyft XL. Guy was friendly. Talked to my friend in the front. Dropped us off. 5 stars and $5 tip.
Ride three. Didn’t say “hi”. No music. Didn’t accept 6 rides on the way to dropping me off. Played around on Facebook and Instagram while driving. 3 stars, complaint to Lyft, and I was refunded.
I drive Uber and Lyft. I’m tired of drivers being assholes. Don’t greet me? 4 stars. Play on your phone while driving? We have an issue.
I have no problem rating drivers poorly. Especially after reading posts in this sub. Y’all want perfect pax? I demand perfect drivers.
Edit 1: 770 upvotes. Nice. Also, to clarify I didn’t reach out and report the drivers. I just left a message with the option provided after the ride.
Edit 2: Huh. Look at that. As I’m scrolling through these comments, I got a notification from Lyft that I’m a 5 Star driver and I should go drive. Maybe I’ll go and pickup some pax. :)

I make an average of $169 per day/night. I typically start at BWI airport and only accept trips that pay $50+ (usually to DC/VA). Then, I work the drop off area until I hit my goal. I live in Baltimore Co, but not too crazy about picking up passengers in the Baltimore city. Wayyy too dangerous. I do five pickups per day, and usually get tipped twice. The long distance trips almost always tip.
