I asked a Lyft driver, who had grown up in Seattle what the problem was. He suggested I always enter an exact address, even if I had to look it up in advance. I did that this morning and tonight and had a better experience. Not only that but this morning I entered an address where I was at a diner and the program auto changed it to Coleman Dock blocks away.
What gives? I am writing on my husbands phone. We are traveling together and we take turns calling Lyft. Not really fair. I have a walking disability and I try limit the number of steps I take.
I took a Lyft after a 2 week hiatus and now remember why I stopped using them. First off, their touting algorithm has no concept of two way streets and often sends a driver to arrive on the wrong side of the street or drop off on the wrong side of the street.
You have 2 options in this case - cross the street unsafely or walk to the nearest crosswalk and then back to your destination. Would dropping someone off a block away be acceptable if it is safe and legal to be closer? Of course not, but this is what wrong side arrivals and drop offs force. Next, conveniently every wait time is less than 5 minutes since this is the cutoff for cancelling without penalty.
Finally, they allow a great deal of driver feedback negative always and you are notified when you receive it. However, you are never told what the specific gripe is. Since these complaints can apparently get you banned or slow your pickup times, it would seem to be fair to let people know what the issue is so they can correct it. There are way less drivers working in my area which has wait times sometimes longer than an hour like last night was for me.
The bill is just as expensive if I pay to be picked up with the wait and save or if I take expedited services to be waiting an entire hour for pick up. Also lyfts competition Uber offers their drivers some incentive for certain rides so the drivers that work both platforms will drop a Lyft rider like a hit rock to try and snag that Uber rider up so the hour I just wait for my Lyft driver to come is doubled because the Lyft driver dropped me to grab up a more lucrative rider with Uber.
Also it seems there are no Lyft rides here offered after 10pm. Lyft is too expensive to wait for nothing just to call a cab in the end anyway. The developer, Lyft, Inc.

Everything works great in the app except directions, we need a turn by turn listed and A lot of times when picking up a passenger does not have the exact location forcing me to call passenger. Also it would be nice to be able to send quick messages such as pre-populated messages we can click and quickly send rather than only having the option to call.
Otherwise I just started driving for Lyft and I absolutely love it. One last suggestion, Uber has an option to pre pick certain contacts in your phone when you want them to follow you The developers should look into creating something to same.
What a great option to feel even more safe, which I have yet to feel unsafe!! Just came back to using Lyft to drive. Generally speaking, I like the Lyft GPS system much better than Uber, but I just started driving again last night after a long break of about a year and there seems to be a lot of things broken. Several times, for instance, I had someone in my car but could not start the trip because I was not parked in the exact location they had set their pickup - like within feet.
There was one ride where I was parked at the end of the driveway instead of pulling in. This was embarrassing and I was super lucky they were so understanding and happy drunks. And it cost me valuable time during peak Saturday night ride hours. For less than 10 feet. Of course, this ended up being the ride that I waited and waited and called the rider several times and he never showed up. Lots of problems to fix here.
