I recently requested a Lyft “wait and save” and had to suffer through 3 cancellations (I was going to the airport). I think there are definitely cracks in the “independent contractor” model if Lyft can quote me a definite timeline (15 min wait), have 3 drivers cancel on me because the fare was too low.

Same, tried to get both either an uber or lyft in an upscale mountain town recently. Their algorithms seem completely unable to cope with rural areas, especially in these covid times.

Zero drivers. No drivers to even reject the horribly underpriced fair for our 4 mile trip. Both uber and lyft assumed the driver would be already near our location, not 4 miles away.

Lyft and uber started quoting the ride as as about $9. Lyft never changed it. Uber did actually up the price to $20something after it failed to find drivers.

Local taxi company charged us $60 bucks. $30 + tip would have been what I'd think as reasonable starting for lyft or uber. That's 3x what either of showed.
