    Pros

    Friendly, Professional Passengers. Out of office, unlimited mileage

    Cons

    Math DOES NOT add up First off I had to FIGHT for my signup bonus they only granted a portion. Supposed $18- 25 per hr adds up to $5 per hr Counting wait time, Cost of ride, and time/mileage per trip! Ideally 4 rides per hour 15 mins per ride Is only logical Only 24 hrs in day so sitting in prime area to get 1 ride per hr deflates your chances of Actual Income. Investment in a battery charging system is definitely needed as App drains ph batt fast Lyft has gone up on price of rental to $250 per week while simultaneously going down on pay per ride average ride gives you $5 You put together plan to do 50 rides to go out to prime time prime areas to sit and wait 2 rides per hr. Prime Time incentives get eaten up in traffic congestion. 1 hr and 45 min ride gave $17 from culver city to valley area 18 hrs clocked $85 paid!

    Pros

    Flexibility- you have the freedom to make your own hours, perfect for single parents, as a part-time job, for students, or a side hustle.

    Cons

    You have to put a lot of mileage on your vehicle and drive a lot to make any money, once you pay for gas and maintenance to your vehicle you end up, barely making anything. Sometimes you lose money.
