Been driving Lyft now for several months in San Diego county. Like anything else, after you do it long enough, it becomes second nature. The real trick where I am is learning where to be and when to be there. After a while you get to know the best areas (few drivers and more riders) and can easily get 8-10 rides in less than 6 hours.

My first week is done yay!! But had to watch. We just are not as busy as Oakland. Which i wish we had way more bussiness ..really love it. Great Video !!

I love this! I am a Social Work Student and I started driving for my love of people! We truly do become mobile counselors. I drive late nights in a high crime area and try to help spread a little peace and a different way of looking at things for some of the youth. Thank you for the video!!

Thank you for this video. I just start about 3 weeks. Now I look forward to driving. Still nerves about long distance but I am working it out. I Enjoy being on the Lyft team member.

I was like this my first time driving. Now it’s a piece of cake for me.

im considering signing up to drive for lyft and this video helped a lot with easing my anxiety about strangers in my car

I have only been driving for Lyft in Jacksonville FL for about a month now and I love this video because it is exactly how i felt when I started! im still trying to get the hang of where to pick people up. I feel like the app just drops me in the area instead of where the person actually is and that gets frustrating sometimes. But I have learned some riders know people usually get lost picking them up where they are and they are used to it and helpful.

The real crime is that she has her LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) -Graduate degree/ Masters. And she is having to drive for Lyft. Going into a profession to help people and yet you struggle to get by. Sad world we live in.

Awesome! I just started last month and can agree that getting that 1st ride accomplished makes it so much easier. However, being a female I haven't driven after dark, for safety concerns. I am pretty brave in the light. My comfort level just isn't there for that step. My hat is off to you!! ❤

Hello, I drive in NY with Lyft, Uber & Juno MOSTLY at NIGHT HOURS for 2 1/2 years AND IT'S THE BEST EXPERIENCE !!! No traffic to deal with, everyone are very nice people when you treat them with respect. Don't be scared, just be always aware of your surroundings & keep your doors locked when you WITHOUT customers. There's absolutely nothing to be afraid of driving at night hours when it comes to safety, It's actually a lot easier than you think. 👍

Sometimes I start at 01:00 a.m. or 02:00 a.m. at night. Generally it gets slow between 01:00 a.m. - 03:00 a.m. and first requests around 03:30 a.m. are Airports. I don't really like Airports but it's part of job so I deal with it. I drive mostly 6 hours or if I still feel that i have left some energy then 7-8 hours. Throughout 8 hours or so there's always will be someone's ride in the morning when people go to work that will get me close to my house then I just go off line & go home. Convenient.

You're doing great! Keep your hands on the wheel. 😃

I have been Lyft Driver for 5 days. I have a great suggestion. Instead of looking at your navigation, go into your Lyft app and turn on your audio. A voice will speak your roads to turn on and tell u where to go. I have an ear plug I place in my left year and listen to commands where to turn and I don’t look at my cell. I keep right ear available to listen to my riders.

Having any earpiece while driving will guarantee you a BIG TICKET in NY ! Try to explain it to police. My GPS directions are coming from the vehicle's speakers so riders can hear & will be aware when we approach to their final destination. It's been over a year & I never received any complaints. Nothing wrong with it IF THEY WANT TO ARRIVE ON TIME. Not to mention that passengers are aware & have no doubts about your earpiece knowing that your attention is on the road & you're NOT distracted while listening to a sport event commentator etc. while driving... they don't know it. P.S. I found it strange when one of my drivers had sport event commentator through his vehicle's speakers... we both were listening to a game. I prefer to hear GPS directions or smooth jaz relaxing music and know that a driver is not distracted with a sport game. By the way WATCH YOUR RATING !!! Any use of an earpiece will LOWER your ratings. It's a safety concern. Passengers prefer to stay aware instead of doubting purpose of earpiece... Make sure YOU USE ride share SERVICES not just as a driver BUT ALSO as a PASSENGER... for instance when you need to go to a Doctor's appointment etc. That's how I see other drivers MISTAKES and learn from them. You have to see it from a PASSENGER'S SEAT to understand wha it is like to be a passenger in YOUR VEHICLE. Believe me it HELPS A LOT. Good luck.

The key is not to drive after 1am. That's when all the crazies come out.

Good job! I’ve been doing LYFT part time for over 2 years and never had a problem with anyone, Thank God. I don’t drive after 11pm on weekends. I don’t want to deal with drunk people. 😬

I just read MILA M reply to my posting. It’s not illegal to have one ear plug in listening to directions in SD. I watched another driver do that. But you have a good point about a rider thinking I’m listening to something and distracted. I never thought of that. I was thinking I was saving riders from listening to a speaker telling me where to turn. I think I will take your advise. I have not signed up for the ride share and still have not figured that out by making different stops. So far it’s been taking a rider from point A to point B then say goodbye. So any suggestions I will welcome

Been driving for a little more than a month now. Love driving for Lyft. I enjoy the vast variety of people I meet on a daily basis. I am usually busy with riders from 9 AM to 5 PM daily. Sure could use more Lyft drivers here in Toledo. More passengers than available drivers.

Been doing rides in nj it was hard at first but its a piece of cake now. People r friendly but i dislike the shared rides

Drivers are Lyft Employees. AB5 Calofornia

Okay, but how much did you drive and what did you make per hour. That's all we drivers actually care about.

nice ride

i was the' same way too that's why i waited so long to try it i was thinking about all the bad things but after a while it was ok I'm with Iyft now for two months i like it because i can do it on my own time just give it a try u might love it too

No negative comments? Interesting.

You very friendly with costamr good 👍

Hope you still driving for Lyft? I do Uber n Lyft

Maybe she wouldn't be such a nervous first timer if Lyft hadn't SUSPENDED THEIR MENTOR PROGRAM. Derp!

I was nervous when I first started Lyft n now I have been doing it for a few months n I love it

I will be doing Lyft when I get back. Uber no so sure.

Lyft doesn't care about their drivers, and take around half or more of the fares (what the customer pays) on average.

How much did you make?thats what everyone really wants to know

So it direct me to another pick up in one minute as I turn on my hazard lights on to myself visible. As he saw me and run up to my car as he got in and told him this is a ride share.

Waze GPS shows Red Light Cameras, construction, cops, accidents, objects on roads, pat holes, road closures etc. in real time - it will save you money on tickets running Red Light Cameras etc. Otherwise get ready to pay a bunch of tickets. Give it a try & see how you like it. It's NOT POSSIBLE to do this business without WAZE GPS navigation. There's available FREE WAZE navigation option.

If u want to started drive for Lyft. Think 2 times is very dangerous Lyft never care about what happened to you. And when are u complaining about the ride's. They immediately deactivate your account. So stupid timeshares company

Mila M its reality. Taxi drivers are either 4x or 7x more likely to be murdered than any other profession is what I read after I had a bad experience driving for Lyft. I was surrounded by people yelling at me because I told them (underage teens) that I didn’t have enough seat belts to take them. They then proceeded to steal the stuff out of my car and I had to call the cops. -2nd week driving for Lyft. Oh and when I contacted Lyft they didn’t do anything or reimburse me for having driven there or deal with that because the “ride was canceled” idk if that parent that was using their app lost their account over it, but that’s besides the point. There is a heightened risk for your safety being threatened while driving random people .

Mila M it’s not meant to “motivate” or gloss over the fact that the drivers who do this are subjected to real danger, are taken advantage off (unfairly rating system, not actually given the 25% of the fare they were promised) and when horrific stories of drivers just trying to make ends meet like KRISTINA HOWATO who was MURDERED along with her UNBORN CHILD, Lyft/Uber sweeps it under the rug, makes ZERO effort to change/clarify their VAGUE policy, and you expect motivation?

@@morland, I'm sorry for your negative experience as a new driver in the Taxi industry. It takes time to get some experience. Taxi driver's job is more dangerous than even working for Police Department because you never know if you return back home as you may end up in the accident. Speed cause accidents therfore always drive within posted speed limits. ALWAYS keep your doors locked at all times when you approach pick up location. Especially If you see a big crowd then make sure that all your doors are locked, then roll down slightly a window & ask how many riders will be getting into a vehicle before letting anyone into the vehicle. If they will give you a number more then you have available seatbelts in your vehicle then POLITELY explain in CALM VOICE the reason why you can't accept their ride request saying that commercial insurance doesn't allow. They will say that they will be charged cancelation fee, just explain & advice them that they need to order a bigger vehicle that will accommodate their party with enough of seatbelts. Talk in calm voice, be professional & diplomatic to DIESCALATE the situation. Don't open your doors & start slowly to drive away on a safe distance, choose option in the Uber App too many riders, make a report right away if they started to get aggressive toward you. Describe the situation in your report. Lyft App designed slightly different.

Propaganda......
