Here’s what I see at the screen shot: $8 for 11 mins pick up 9 mins ride. 11 mins is probably closer to 15 (we all know Lyft lie about the time) + 2 or 3 mins until mr customer get his ass into the car then another 9 mins which is probably 12 mins ride. So pretty much $8 for 30 mins of your time. Which turn into $16 per hour. Which is barely minimum wage in SF. After gas and expenses you’re way under minimum wage

Shit I do $50/60 an hour during slow times in Milwaukee on the weekends. The only noticeable difference with priority mode is that it seems to give you requests more often. Otherwise there's really no discernible difference

Priority mode is an insult to drivers as companies finds ways to get drivers to accept lower pay - dog eat dog fights for scraps . It’s 10% now but will gradually increase as drivers get more desperate

I don’t like priority mode either. In my market I noticed priority mode disappears on my app when there’s too many drivers that has priority mode toggled on. This tells me there are plenty of drivers that’s using this feature and taking less.

@@wearingmaurice I average in the 40's to 50s per hour even with the CA Prop 22. These companies will pay the lowest they can until changes in the US from Federal Laws or State interventions create minimum wages. In the European Union there are new labor laws that Uber must follow which is more than what we are getting here in California. Uber had 5 million drivers as of last year and has recently announced there are now 6.5 million drivers. These companies can set rates that they want in the absence of government mandates. For me, I never ask my passengers how much they paid as it's none of my business. I can choose to accept or decline what comes my way.

Drivers, Door Dash, Uber, Lyft or any Gig app should stop talking about paying/getting hourly pay; unless the vehicle is provided by a Gig app & gas/petrol, maintenance, insurance, etc etc is paid by Uber, Door Dash, Lyft, Roadie etc etc only. So stop bringing the hourly wage to conversation when the vehicle is by an independent contractor. The vehicle should be compensated seperately & the driver should be compensated seperately. Gig apps should pay the independent contractor (the driver) $1.70 per mile for the vehicle (or 1 Euro per Km) & at least $0.55 cents (Euros) PER MINUTE for driver's effort. And those rates should run like a stopwatch on the phones on every second & miles driven, separately like a old taxy cab meter. Obviously for drivers of New York, California, Boston the rates I suggested should be higher. E.g. per mile $1.90 & per minute $0.80 at least in this inflation, because it's not 2016 now everywhere else other than for Gig workers.
