Pros

When I first started in 2018, you got paid for each share ride and was able to make good money.

Cons

They change the app without notice to cut down on your earnings to the bare minimum, where share rides no longer go by pay but by miles. example: I picked up two rides at the airport and got paid, $75 from one and $125 from the other, both going in the same direction with one's drop off further. Lyft changed it with no notice. I picked up 3 share rides at the airport and dropped them off in the same vicinity.. I made $12 total, because Lyft changed the fee to getting paid for mileage only, single or shared rides.. That's just one of the cons.. There's many more

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
