Sergio and Chris recently talked about how turning off new ride requests (unless in a streak bonus) can help drivers not only be safer on the road but also how it can help with having less available drivers on the road which can help with surge and getting paid better! Here is how to do it on both apps

I use to just turn on my app and just take every single ride. But for the past couple of months or so while driving 6 to 8 hours a day around 15 days a month, I noticed longer distances to pick up and very low fare rates. Beginning today, I will be using your recommended methods for choosing ride offers. Thanks guys for the education!
NEED THE ABILITY TO TURN DOWN A TRIP TO SOMEWHERTE YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO!!!!
This is exactly how I drive in Boston, and there's another HUGE advantage that's not mentioned in this Video. I Immediately tap "Stop New Requests" the moment I accept a trip, and I don't go back online until AFTER I've dropped the passenger off. Works beautifully. The reason why is that if you do not have a passenger in the car when a trip pops up, you can see the trip route on the map clearly. If you have a passenger in the car and a trip request pops up, you don't get to see the full route drawn out on the map. So it's much easier to look and see where my next ride is taking me.
@Sergio-SMTMC Thanks Sergio, happy to be a part of it :)
I do this all the time and it avoids taking those garbage trips
EVERYONE NEEDS TO PAUSE AFTER YOU GET A RIDE UNTIL YOU DROP OFF THIS WILL KEEP SURGES GOING FOR LONGER
@Sergio-SMTMCPlease urge everyone to pause after you get a pickup and wait until drop off to go back online, this will increase surges and keep them going for longer but it only works if we get the word out to everyone.
They limit you to one per hour. I'd have to go offline
I’ve been doing this for a while just for the safety/concentration aspect but now I will definitely commit to always doing it in order to improve earnings!
Also the distraction while riding I can't focus on driving it could cause a accident. And it avoids canceled rides from drivers
I've been doing this for the last 5 years it works I'm never below $40 an hour
Liar.
I was doing this if I took a ride to an area in which I did not want to stay. I will do it every trip now based on your logic. It makes it a much safer ride without the distraction of pings and trip notices.
Works for me! Uber and Lyft make for unsafe atmosphere when you are on a run.
Turning off ride requests also doesnt allow current passenger to add any stops
It seems like requests are also timed to be the worst time to popup on the app (during turn, etc.) so you don't have time to look at it. I follow exactly what Sergio is saying here. Works great.
I do this all the time. And, I only accept a trip once I get to the surge.
I always do this! I turn it off before picking up someone. If I didnt there could be surge that I will miss. Also while driving I cant see what they are giving me.. something 10 miles away with a 4.29 rating.. Yes this has happened to me. So of course I must cance that crap..
I started doing this when you guys first suggested it and I love it. Best suggestion so far. Marry xmas!
Great advice been doing it without fail for the last 2 months you guys give great suggestions
I was just saying this to my self last night thanks. Now I know I wasn't wrong
i commit to turning off the requests after every accepted request. #respectyourearnings
The biggest complaint I have is Google maps they need to upgrade them I am tired of going around the mulberry boy sometimes it takes you to short way to pick them up and then it takes you the long way to drop them off
It ALWAYS takes you the long way to drop them off that’s how they get their miles
I do all the times, not taking garbage. Idk why people don't do that, as soon as we dropped either uber or lyft send another ride without seeing $$$ i rather turn back on after dropped off
@Sergio-SMTMC I've been driving for 5 years and always done this strategy and works, i rather wait and see 👀 than whatever they send me, but before it was pools, i wouldn't do them unless with bonuses 3 for $18 and on for example. We need to all be in the same page 💯 💯 let the surge go up like what it happened at the Airport, They can manipulate the Algorithm, now we need to do that as Drivers.
I've tried your way on Lyft but I then have to wait 30 minutes or more for my next ride. It's like they are punishing me. I don't work in a big city. I have to take everything they give me or starve.
I've been doing this a few years now. It's a no brainer. Not only does it avoid incoming rides, that you can't see a map of where they start and end, but it also allows you to choose if you even want to stay in that area, or head directly to a surge if one is nearby after you finish the ride.
Side note, kinda bold of you to show people's name, including pickup and drop-off addresses on the screen to UA-cam viewers. One of them is likely a home address, and there are a lot of creeps out there.
@@Sergio-SMTMC any time! They try their best to take advantage of us any way they can. We gotta do what we can to limit that.
I do sign - off after I take the ride and drop off somewhat that’s not the safest area to take another call! 🙏
I Do This Routinely Every Trip, But We Need To Tell All The Drivers We Know To Do This Technic. We Don't Wants Majority Drivers To Be A Sicker, We Wants Majority Drivers To Work Smarter And Make A Lot Of 💰M🤑ney.
I'm going to try it today. New Year's Eve. We'll see what happens
Don't forget to screenshot the request and the trip planner so you can make sure to get paid properly if something changes during the ride, such as stops being added!
PPL THAT ADD STOPS AFTER THE RIDE IS ACCEPTED ARE HUSTLING US ALSO. IT NEVER COMPENSATES PROPERLY. ALSO WHEN THEY ADD IT MID TRIP WITHOUT ASKING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. WE HAVE NO SAY IN THIS AND IT GOES AGAINST THE WHOLE UPFRONT FARE CONCEPT
@@LOVEisACTIONABLE I don't accept any rides with stops and I cancel any ride that adds a stop while I'm on the way. If they do it in mid route and Uber's not paying right, I dropped the passenger off at the stop.
Great tip thanks for sharing guys and Merry Christmas 🎄 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Our pleasure!
I always drive with my app off and turn it back on after I drop off the passenger.
lol, iam almost done with lyft. during the snowstorm, i opened the app to see what they were paying poor souls to drive in the snow and ice. well a lux came in, for 45$ , 16 mins to the rider, for a 23 mile trip that will take another 40 mins if your lucky. so lux was gonna pay me a measly 45 dollars for a ride that was over an hour. not even close to the rates before they did this upfront stuff, and with the stop new requests, ive been doing that along time ago, makes my life easier, expecially with lyft just throwing a rider in your que without letting you see the rating or location before they do
If of course you're in the middle of a Lyft streak bonus you don't want to turn off ride requests unless you are going to turn it back on within 15 minutes (in order to keep the streak active). And even then you can only turn requests off once during a Lyft streak bonus if you want to complete it.
Platinums get prorated even if we not complete the 3 rides streaks
I did last night all the time. I go back on availability just before I end the trip or sometimes as I’m pulling up to the drop off location. If it’s the local airport I might do it a mile or half a mile or as I’m entering the airport.
yes will try for this week
The app does not allow us to go back online while in a live trip...i stop requests after every pick up , but can only go back online once the trip i have is completed
I like it! Great idea!
I've had this conversation on here before where Sergio replied. My reply. While this method is effective. Depending on where you reside, it's not 100 percent. Here in San Francisco, when you turn off the app while in the midst of picking up a customer. Lyft will and has changed the pickup destination to pickup another passenger. I her this frequent. And that's where they can screw you too. I've had it happened several time where you accept the ride that you want, but only to have it switched to a shitty ride via Lyft
Just turn it off right after u start the ride. It won't give u another trip immediately unless it's absolutely a crap show with super high demand everywhere
I do same thing except I wait till done with ride then I look around for a surge area, if no surge area nearby then I restart
I will try this today. Good idea
All the best
@@Therideshareguy it’s going great 👍🏻 thank you for the idea brotha
Love This Site
Trip radar is probably the most unsafe thing I've ever seen. What a horrible idea for passenger and driver safety. Second, because of the distraction I always turn off new requests when I'm on a ride just as they suggest. New trip requests and radar are just way too distracting.
I have been doing this for over a year, and now I feel like Uber doesn't show me surges, instead it says I'm in a very busy area. I have to actually play around with uninstalling the app. And restarting my phone again and then it will start showing me surges again. Also try to screen shot what you accept because sometimes the distance is different then what they show. I screen shot when I accept and then i screen shot when I start the ride.
Ur phone might be trash. I have a brand new s22 and it's absolutely trash and I deal with this also. I swear different providers of service matter as well. I can not call an iPhone thru the app but always connect with a andriod
I have a Samsung Galaxy A52 5 G. I have changed phone services 3 times this past year. Maybe it is the phone
THE ALGORITHM WILL MAKE YOUR NEXT FARE LOWER AS WELL. TESTED THIS MANY TIMES AND THE NEXT REQUEST, UBER LOOKS AT IT AS U ARE ALREADY GOING NEAR IT SO THEY LOW BALL IT THINKING U WILL ACCEPT. THIS WILL HELP FARES AND DEFINITELY EXTENDING SURGES AND ELIMINATING SURGE BAITING WHICH IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH
Even selecting the option to stop accepting trips on Lyft I still get requests half the time it seems. I cancel them anyway. I choose the rides I want, not Lyft.
I do comfort Xl and X I turn off my X and sometimes my XL
Need to be able to know where the rider is going so you do not have to go two states away. UYber teases the driver because they give the wrong distance of the ride request!!!
When do you get to how to take a break from Lyft?
I came up with this idea over a year ago. But don't drive anymore because the pay dropped so much.
I tried this yesterday. Ended up driving 7.5 hours barely hit just under $150 worst Thursday in 8.5 years. Couldn't get not even a single xl request. Believe it or not out of 8 rides i gave the highest avg paying rides were the 4 shared rides i got and 1 preferred ride. Ended up near home so called it an early night by 6pm. Here's a question for the panel. How does the hourly guarantee work for lyft under prop 22. For example the guarantee 120% of minimum wage earnings. If you give 1 minimum ride per hour and not accept any other requests . Simply just park and do nothing. Will lyft pay out the difference. Because from what it appears like. If I give rides I'm still only able to avg 17 to 20 per hour even cherry picking under upfront pricing options. So if the guarantee under prop 22 is based on online time and the difference after giving rides. I almost feel like I can give 10 minimum $3 rides in a 9 hour day. And after 2 weeks lyft would have to pay out the 120% or the difference between my earnings and the prop 22 money. Has anyone tried this yet to see what happens.
Your screenshots show that you are no longer seeing the maps that show you the directions to the pickup when you do this. Is that correct? Then how do you get there?
I tried that but as soon as I accept new ride, lyft say something went wrong, and in second sends another crappie ride, which I reject
The tour requests are temporarliy paused automatically and I Contacted with uber employee and They are not resolved it please help me if anyone knows it is here😊
I usually just tap the coffee cup where rides are paused
I’m in!
I did stop new requests, but did notice it let (rider) them change the destination
I use that technique.
I do this all the time
I was driving in the snowstorm on Wed.took a ride 35 miles for 34.00 . Then as we're going she says I'm going back in ten minutes so I waited to get the ride back. She gets in my car and ordered a ride it charged 168.00 to return the 35 miles. It offered me 23.43.
I'm SO FRIGGIN MAD this is criminal to pay so small a %
That's how they treat ppl as slaves and get sued alot
I don't like how Lyft will add to our que automatically without giving us to option to accept it.
I turn off requests right before i pick up my customer. Otherwise if the customer cancels the ride on my way there I'll have to pull over to take my picture. Uber never lets me go online without doing so. And I turn it back on right when the customer exits my vehicle and then I complete and rate the ride.
I used to drive for Uber a few years back & had quite a few "cancelled" rides when I was about halfway to my passenger's location. This got quite annoying as it would happen to me whenever I decided to drive for Uber on any given day. Since I was working full-time during the week, I only did the Uber driving on the weekends. After I kept getting "cancelled" ride notices from Uber, I decided the hassle wasn't worth it anymore and quit working for Uber. At lest this information from the video about how to turn off the requests is helpful! When I drove for Uber, no sooner when I dropped off my passenger, sure enough there would be another notice about a person needing a ride pop up on my Uber app!
Turn off rides and eats keep connect active. This allows you to grab any surge you drive thru and take it with you
We need a law suit asap
I have been doing this for years is much safer
Side note, if you drive ten minutes and a passenger cancels, we get nothing.
Even though upfront earnings claims driving to the destination is paid.
It's not .
This is not true. It matters how long and how far. I get cancel fees even when I'm still 9 mins away as long as I am heading toward the customer. Even not arriving but close and the rider cancels I always get 4.63 to 5 dollar cancel fee. U have to have made some progress towards the pickup location. How much not sure I'm assuming maybe 50% of the way to the pickup from where u accepted the trip
Would this stop the redirecting to another passenger?
@Sergio-SMTMC U ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE RIDE STARTS. UNLESS ITS A 4 MIN RIDE AND ITS CRAZY TRIP RADAR WITH LIKE 12 TRIPS U WONT GET ONE INSTANTLY. IDK HOW LYFT WORKS BUT THEY ARE DONE VERY SOON. GOING UNDER
If I was trying to talk and some dude was playing ukulele over me I would remove him
Don't always work on lyft
I have a new program regarding Uber. This week they gave los Angeles a bouns , $165 for 15 rides. $11 per ride. This will be the only time I drive. The three of you are intelligent. Their must be something else you can do to earn a living. Uber is not the answer. Just saying.
@Sergio-SMTMC thank you
Where's The Button for no more New ride requests
I have been doing it I don’t have to hear that annoying trip garbage 🗑️ radar 😊
I get some of my best paying and favorable trips with trip radar when u can select one exactly where u want and the length and price this is sooooo much better than getting offered 5 dollar hollers cmon man
@@LOVEisACTIONABLE good thing I works for you it doesn’t work for me and few others
I suggested this option right after the up front price started. You guys wake up after 8 weeks?
Too much, prices are the lowest I have ever never seen
No more hope in this job anymore
Rideshare business is dead
Every driver should go and find another source of income ASAP
They don't need drivers anymore
They are doing this intentionally and there is so many people quit there main jobs and started Uber and Lyft full time, and these companies know it very well, and we have unfortunately become like a slave for them, so they exploit us and use us as a domy
Please go and find something else
They did do pay cuts. However, you need to be strategically focused to make a profit now. Not just get out and drive around
@@malewire1263 Definitely forced me to be more strategic with my driving. I never drive for those base fare rides. You can still make good money driving if you're smart.
I don't know about you all but I can only speak myself I dislike . When you're on a drive and they put another one Q . I did not know how to shut Off so I took them not long. I had figured out how to shut them off. . Then when I realized how to shut Them off. I felt like an idiot . Laugh out loud
These Riders do it on purpose. I'm on Lyft and they added a stop after I picked them up but they were dropped off at the first stop. I left because the second stop ended up being way further away. It is a way to scam
They still know where we are and that we are doing that
THEY CAN KNOW ALL THEY WANT. HOW THE HELL CAN THEY MAKE MONEY IF NOBODY IS ONLINE. THEY DONT EXACTLY KNOW WHO IS GOING TO COME BACK ON AND WHO IS GOING TO BE FINISHED FOR THE NIGHT. U GOTTA BE SMARTER THAN A ROBOT STOP GIVING THE MAN YOUR MONEY. U MAKE IT HARDER FOR OTHERS
Why does Sergio use God's name in vain some much.
The right share guys are doing so much good for this business. Is there anyway to lobby the government to put restrictions on businesses like Uber for extremely dangerous distracting phone activity like trip radar? I’ve heard that they may make trip radar the regular way to accept rides and I think this dangerous distraction should be against the law.
I had a 10 ride on Lyft today then it switched to 8 dollar ride so I declined that ride. I decline ever 3-4 dollar ride Lyft is gonna go under sooner then 2024.
