Dude what fairy tale are you telling to people. I have completed 27000 trips. I am telling you I am not even earning minimum wage in SF anymore.

[@jaivishalgohel]

Both are sucks in NJ

[@jmartinez9332]

Lyft is by far better because I don't have to obtain a particular acceptance or Cancellation rate to at least be able to see what direction the rider is going. Lyft doesn't care acceptance rate so they always let you know how far you are driving the customer. Uber makes it difficult to get a high acceptance rate because they'll send you rides to pick somebody up 10 miles away to drive them 1-mile but if the same thing happens with lift and you decline it they don't punish you for it and still will let you see where you're taking the writer when the ride comes in.

[@thebottomline225]

I Agree

[@williamscanlon6539]

Yep.

[@thesweetestteas.4534]

I'm just about over Uber at this point. I've been a diamond driver for months and everything seems to be worse for me 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@Dick-Cheese-4]

Thats market dependent. I get information on both apps in my market

[@markweber5297]

I drive for both, 1 + years with Uber and only 1 month for Lyft. I've been alternating every other weekend to see what pays the best and Uber wins by a large margin. Maybe it's the city I live in, but the cliental is different. Lower income people, who hardly ever tip, uses Lyft and the more middle/high income people use Uber and they tip more. Just my experience.

[@staceybrooks1596]

Truth I started 5 years ago n started with lyft I stop 3 years ago cause of their rachet clients and low tips so I switch to uber better customer 98% of time n much better tips

[@normastits4179]

And you are able to assess this by picking someone up and dropping them off? Your talents are wasted driving for Uber.

[@Therideshareguy]

Thanks for sharing

[@staceybrooks1596]

@normastits4179 you to would be able to access them by their behavior. Actions speak louder then word

[@amanuesis]

Not true about longer trips. You're generally covering greater distances and using more gas, making the longer trips actually less profitable. The only way I do longer trips in my city is if they are surge-priced, or if they get me to an area that I want to be.

[@Tycobb10]

I use the dollar per mile rate to determine whether I accept a ride. I work both apps. In Las Vegas Lyft is the better choice hands down with my criteria. I don’t consider long rides with Uber because they have not offered the destination filter here for months. Lyft does!

[@jaivishalgohel]

In NJ it's 0.70 cent per mile plus you can't drive in NY so come back empty on driver expanse

[@nickv.7181]

One big factor for me is passenger quality. On that metric, in Atlanta, Uber is the very clear winner. For some reason, Lyft in this market attracts a trashy clientele who are problematic about 60-70% of the time, whereas Uber attracts a higher class customer base that's almost entirely drama free.

[@Xgenerati]

Interesting! I would've thought it's the way around. But then - wokies and lefties all prefer Lyft so I kinda answered it myself ...

[@banginzaza]

Oh yes. Ghetto Atlanta. It's terrible.

[@Jeffrey125s]

This question also depends on your area, the Sarasota region is Uber heavy, with Lyft not nearly as used. I’m sure some regions are opposite, and others are half and half.

[@e-cuauhtemoc]

Los Angeles will you keep you busy if you know when and where to drive.

[@mikeb6854]

I've driven for Uber for the last year and Lyft for the last 2 months. I receive substantially more rides with Uber than Lyft, 8:1. Uber riders tend to tip more often and the rides tend to be better quality. I run both apps simultaneously and I can go all day without a Lyft trip

[@jayfromcali7091]

When I started with Uber to Anza go the money was great but now the trips are further apart and I'm getting less of a cut for instance let's just say a 25-minute trip will be 10 minutes to the trip and 15 minutes transporting, I used to get like 8:50 for something like that but now I'm only getting like 6.80🤨 and I'm a💎 driver

How long ago was this video?? Uber stopped trip bonuses awhile ago.

[@glennblake2249]

When did you record the video. It seems like it can be up to 5 or 6 years old. How about something more updated. In LA I never get ride challenges from Lyft and on Uber now is offering earnings based bonuses which are virtually nothing. I've heard some drivers getting ride based bonuses. But if they are I'm sure the bonus is very, very low

[@seanwilliams7655]

Yeah, this sounds like it could have been made in 2016-17. But it does say this is aimed at new drivers. My advice for new drivers is don't try to make this work full time. Sure, you MIGHT be in one of the few markets where this can be a full time job, but you're most likely not.

[@bktv4631]

AS A NEWYORKER I DRIVE BOTH UBER&LYFT …I prefer LYFT they very friendly with drivers and customers service is great ,I can pick locations I willing to work, I can see passengers destination if it’s safe to go and traffic conditions .I hate going manhattan because lost $515 on tolls in NYC driving for Uber not paying back I refuse any passengers going to manhattan ❌ Driving for Lyft is the best I can also get a trip heading back home…UBER more busy but not convenient and customer service horrible 😩

[@TURKOGLUTURK34]

At SFO Waiting 1* hours for a ride that is paying 16 dollars for 13.5 miles driving. Plus 13.5 miles driving back. Most rides pays less than 5 dollars downtown SF. That means to earn 15 bucks a driver has to complete 3 trips in the city to earn $15/hr. Most Passengers have no clue how little their drivers earning for there is absolutely no correlation in between how much customer is paying and how much is driver earning from that ride. Passengers often already upset paying premium prices and expect premium service no matter how rude they are sometime. Yet drivers are also upset spending 2/3 of their day in their vehicles and still not being able to pay bills on time. Drives should again be able to earn decent money like it used to be. They shouldn’t be thinking payments they missed while driving they should be able to earn enough so they can keep their focus on the road and quality of the service they provide.

[@seresamgala8125]

Sağoluol... lu

[@Voltaic_Rider]

How much you’ll earn is based on an A.I algo… How we used to get paid was a mile and minute rate plus the multiplier/ surge

[@jcgutibay]

I used to get more rides with Uber but prefer Lyft, but now that there are so many drivers, I do not think it's worth it to drive part time. Although Lyft and Uber dominate the market, will drivers be interested in joining another startup or company that cuts commissions?

[@seresamgala8125]

how 'bout Uber only for food and Lyft for people?

[@puertoricanprofit5985]

I made way more weekly with Uber especially during the good weather half of the year 30s half the year 20s other half year Lyft is asking way more rides for much smaller bonuses I make 200-800 more a week with Uber

[@jimbriggs70]

You obviously don't drive because UBER does not pay miles & time anymore. Maybe you should change your moniker to " The Rideshare Talk Content Contributor Guy"

[@tomfinton6933]

Both do not use time and distance. I have driven for Uber for 6 years and they have switched in the past few years.

[@iwontbebeat7111]

Because now, they are switched with con artists who are running a shows.

[@tyvanhworkout]

Yes! The poster of this content seems woefully misinformed about this!

[@RideshareWithJohnathan]

I have had better luck with Lyft because of the distance rides. I love getting longer rides & being able to connect with riders, and this usually leads to fairly large tips, plus its less people in my car to make a mess. My average Uber is around $6 ride where my average Lyft is about $11 from this past week.

[@314murdacapitall]

Dam that’s it??? Wow

[@williamscanlon6539]

Much better proximity with Lyft. Better proximity better pay.

[@jerryfranks7359]

They both suck. I used to get $8.00 for short rides Uber lowered drivers pay again to $4.10 for short ride now.

[@GaleTeschendorf]

[@brucetyler8846]

Only issue I have with Uber is I don’t have upfront pricing in my market yet and I don’t like not knowing where the passenger is going ahead of time before accepting the trip but Uber is busier than Lyft

[@SantaBarbaraRides]

Outdated. Did you make this video before the Up-Front Pricing Shell Game?

[@KingDrewPhilip]

I have to say that I think neither company is good to drive for. The rates are equally terrible for both companies, and it’s just not worth my time. I really cut back on driving and found other sources of income.

[@joedriver2588]

A person would either have to be in a desperate situation or be very stupid to drive for these companies. Giving Uber and Lyft's lower tier rides is a losing game. You can make more money working at Starbucks, Target, etc. Harry is not being honest with his viewers. To start, long rides don't pay more. This is a complete lie. Taking lots of short rides is far more lucrative. I don't think Harry even drives anymore.

[@Xgenerati]

If you ever took Lyft or Uber as a customer, you'd known that you get to rate your driver.

[@black5254]

What do you mean by better drivers??

[@Xgenerati]

It's about your rating. Drivers with a higher customer satisfaction rating will get better offers or will get an offer for a higher paying ride first. If they decline, it goes down the chain.

[@damianweiss217]

How about the same video in a lousy market ?

[@risingawareness13]

Lyft is more active where I live, but I don't take many passengers for them because their rates are hot garbage. Uber pays about twice as much for equal distances. Sorry Lyft, but I'm not rolling my car for $4.12.

[@joedriver2588]

Harry gets a big giant X, for false information. Long rides don't pay more. This is a complete lie. Taking lots of short rides is far more lucrative. If you do the math, both Uber and Lyft pay less per mile for long rides. I don't think Harry even drives anymore.

[@Boss2164]

lol Uber offered me $59.45 for a drive that’s 1hr 45 min. No sock I didn’t accept

[@vjays500]

Thats biggest misinformation uber dont pay time and distance they pay how they feel like which is 40% only busy area you get lucky, and bonus is joke mosly $0.50 cents a trip. And lyft pays close to $0.80cents a mile and increased ride duration can add up $2-3 extra vs uber pays few cents lol. Both are trash.

[@larryl5564]

I agree with Harry on a lot of what he discusses. The information he shares is well researched. It is not semantics however when discussing making more money. I believe that Uber drivers can generate more revenue because they have a larger pool of passengers however drivers should be interested in what is most profitable. That is a much more difficult question to answer. From my experience while I could generate a lot more revenue with Uber I am much more profitable with Lyft.

This is 100% false. Empower INSISTS on taking their pay BEFORE the driver gets paid. If you're on their premium plan, you have to drive $300 worth of rides in the month BEFORE you will start getting paid for driving. That is literally THE most inhumane way of structuring a business partnership that I've ever heard of. Imagine driving and seeing money coming in, knowing you'll never get a dime of it. Then if sth happens where you can't keep driving to make your own money, too bad for you! How can anyone be pleased with that!?
