Recent Lyft Customer Questions

I've been online for 5hrs and relieved no rides in busy area. What's going on?

Several factors can affect ride requests, including the time of day, local events, and competition from other drivers. Being in a busy area doesn’t always guarantee ride requests, as demand can fluctuate. It's important to remain patient, consider repositioning to a different location, or adjusting your hours for peak demand times.
