Long Wait Times

Yesterday I requested a Lyft ride. The wait time showed 16 minutes on the app, but I waited 19 minutes without a ride. I watched the car as it got within 3 blocks of picking me up then it disappeared and another car was requested showing an 18 minute wait time. After waiting for 10 minutes and not seeing the car making much of a progress, I cancelled my request and made another request to pay more for a 5 minute wait time. It ended up being about 10 minutes. This has happened to me three of the last four Lyft requests where my first option got close to picking me up but then disappeared and waiting for another 15-20 minutes. On one of my recent requests last week, I had two cars cancel on me, both were close but got called to another Lyft customer in the last second leaving me with a 3rd car that was 16 minutes away. In total, I waited 49 minutes. That driver told me that it’s the system that makes those changes. I’ve watched my rides get so close to me, within blocks, after 15-20 minute wait times only to have them cancelled on me by the system. I wish there was a way to fix this. The drivers are always great. I appreciate them very much.

Unable to Report Being Dropped at Wrong Location and More

Unable to share my exact issue with customer support, so I am putting it here. My home address is not mapping to the proper location, so drivers are going to the inaccessible gate on the wrong side. When you are blind and cannot see where they are going, especially if the driver is deaf or doesn't speak your language, it makes it impossible for them to know where you need to go and unsafe for me as I am being dropped at the wrong location. The app is not giving me a way to report this specific issue. As a blind user, accessibility is a big deal to me. This app in terms of accessible components is actually quite good. My issue is this. They encourage users to upload a photo so the driver knows who you are, I can't see them being totally blind, so I don't have such an advantage. They say verify the license plate of the car, again great if you could see it. They really need to come up with a more creative solution that helps us blind users. As a side note, users should be given a language option for their driver, Spanish speakers may not be able to work well with English speakers, English speakers may not do well with a Spanish speaker. This is especially true if you are blind and pointing at things does you no good. Try communicating with a Spanish speaker or someone who cannot hear when you are blind and they can't figure out where you are going, go ahead, try it.

Gone downhill

I want to love Lyft I really do. They had a better business model than Uber especially when it came to how they treated their employees. But both companies took a huge chunk out of their contractors pay over the part year, I feel like there’s definitely room for a fairer 3rd player. As a ride-share user, tonight was probably the last straw. After being told my ride was “confirmed” I stared at a “waiting for details” screen for over 10 minutes TWICE. When I gave up and ordered an Uber I finally got my details but the Lyft was still 14 minutes away. I cancelled and was charged 4.50. That may not seem like much but what about the time and stress I wasted trying to get a Lyft in the first place? I was out with friends and couldn’t have conversations or anything for a good 30 minutes, on top of them waiting for me, because I was minding my phone wondering when I was gonna have a Lyft. This app needs a big overhaul to give users an accurate ETA. I went from “you will arrive at your destination at 904pm” to “you will arrive at your destination at 925pm” and it STILL didn’t have driver details! That’s why I ordered an Uber instead. I get it, Lyft you don’t have the driver saturation Uber has. But you can’t overpromise ETAs on your app when people have places to be. As an early devotee to Lyft vs Uber I’m just really disappointed and disgusted that they would charge me for this. Tonight will probably be the last time I ever try to use Lyft.
