Lyft is starting to win me over!

Hi Folks,

  So if you are a passenger or have been a passenger of mine you might find this interesting. If you are thinking about driving for Lyft or Uber - or (preferably) both, I know you will find this interesting!!

 I am pretty much already doing this, I'm driving almost exclusively for Lyft.  There is an exception, however; when I am in Clarksville to drive I still run Uber sometimes.  That being said, even in Clarksville I still lean more heavily on Lyft.  I was looking at my driving history and check this out - since I started working both Lyft and Uber in August - (Prior to that I was only doing Uber) I have collected some data!

Here are my rides per week for Lyft during this time.

Notice that this is 11 weeks - and notice the last four weeks how much it's climbing.  That is because Lyft is offering bonuses and guarantees that Uber is not.  Lyft is enticing me to drive more for them!

I would throw up a comparison of Uber - but on the Uber website, I had a difficult time actually seeing this information anywhere.   But I was able to look at what I have earned from both companies during this time.  Check this out!


During the same 11 week period, I have made more money with Lyft than I have with Uber.  $184.04 more from Lyft than Uber in those 11 weeks to be exact.  Which is admittedly not a great deal - and I don't have a ride number comparison either but it is enough information for me to say that Lyft is definitely winning the battle for my loyalty right now.

Even driver referral bonuses are better with Lyft than Uber right now!  


Here is Uber's



Both still good bonuses - I mean an extra $200 is nothing to complain about - but look at the difference, if you are going to refer someone to drive for just one company which one do you choose?  

Exactly...  

In this video I talk about how I'm starting to make the switch to Lyft!


A lot of information in this post so I'll end here but be sure to go over to my YouTube Channel and subscribe for frequent updates on my adventures and progress with ridesharing.  And I also play the Ukulele over there some lol.

Video message for passengers

This page is a work in progress

Chess The Rock Opera

Thought I would share a little here about what the music I currently have on my usb UBERJAMS drive is about.  The title of the album/opera/musical/play is Chess.  It has been done on broadway before I know, and there is a lot about it that I don't know.  What I do know is that as you listen to the tracks, you get a little piece of a story about two Grandmaster Chess Players and their teams, friends, and loved ones.  I have enjoyed it for about 30 years or so and highly recommend you getting to know something about it.


Here is a link to a lot more information!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_(musical)

How to DJ while in my Uber

This should be easy! :)  But if it's not feel free to ask me for help, or just give up and listen to my music LOL.

1.Turn on your bluetooth discovery in your phone settings,
2. Select C26S from the list that should pop up - it may be the only thing on your list
3. Play something on your phone!  - until you turn the bluetooth back off anything you play ((INCLUDING PHONE CALLS)) will start playing through my radio speakers - if you get a phone call I will remind you of how to turn it off quickly, but if you like you may also feel free to use the call as a speaker call.


Secondary Caution : Any sound that comes from your phone will play through the radio speakers until you turn it off - even after you are out of my car for a few feet.  


It's easy to turn off - just go to settings and find bluetooth, there should be a switch or button to click it off.

Interior Lights

I have interior flashing lights in the front and rear floorboards of my car.  If these bother you at all please tell me.  I can turn them completely off in a moment.

Other than flashing, sometimes the lights may be fading in and out, or staying on one single color - probably purple lol.  I have a remote control for them and if you like you can choose the settings.
