Is anyone here familiar with Lyft or Uber?

Lyft and Uber are pretty much the same thing and I am trying to apply as a Lyft Driver (independent taxi driver) what do y'all think?

It's what I do for work right now...both Uber ad Lyft. I'm pretty happy in general, but I do miss having medical benefits and paid sick days.

@Zaphod42 does one pay better than the other?

@Peaceful I was going to ask him the same thing... Am I looking forward to a decent paycheck if I drive 40 hours per week (full time) with Lyft

@Peaceful Well, sorta. Uber (in this area) has about double the customer base so in general I get more per week from them. However if I get a long trip with Lyft that pays better for the one ride as they have about 5% less commission. But for shorter rides you don't really see a difference.

@Cannabro Depending on the week I can make between $600 and $1000. It all depends on the week of the year, holidays, the hours of the day you drive and if anything has made the news to scare passengers (like a driver in Colorado shooting a passenger...last week took a dive after that happened).
