The Treasury department estimates $0.70 per mile to operate a car or light truck. #Lyft pays as low as $0.54 per mile. The driver loses money on the mileage and make nothing for himself.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @pluralistic How the gig taxis services pay slave wages to drivers is by taking advantage of the fact that people consistently underestimate the cost of driving their own cars. Drivers generally ignore the largest cost element of vehicle depreciation, and underestimate the cost of consumables such as tires, brakes, and oil changes. #uber #lyft

You can't even talk without someone or something recording it -- and transcribing.
Why would #Lyft be recoding and keeping customer conversations?

Lyft appears to have updated its app for airport pickups, where you don't match with a driver until your phone's GPS matches the pickup spot.

Clever, except airport pickup spots are often under layers of concrete, and the app has no manual override to say I'm actually here.

I spent 30 minutes walking across multiple lanes of traffic trying to get my phone's reported GPS location into the zone on the map.

Do #lyft PMs actually use #lyft?

#Lyft announced that they now use #OpenStreetMap (instead of #Google #Maps) as their database. No big surprise for us, but nice to see another company switch.

You can find their press release here, but there is not much actual content there. Summarized: it's cheaper, flexible, easier to edit and now they can actually _fix_ issues that google maps won't.
