I notice that I get better, friendlier service from the drivers and I like having the option to tip. They have rolled out a lot of impressive features and programs recently. I hope, at the very least, their actions will pressure Uber into some similar moves</text></comment>
<story><title>New Initiatives for Lyft Drivers</title><url>http://blog.lyft.com/posts/wetreatyoubetter</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>tswartz</author><text>I like how Lyft is trying to make it easier for more people to drive for them. But, after Lyft&amp;#x27;s cut, tax and gas the hourly rate was very low. I drove for a couple months and they promised $25 - $35 during peak time, but I netted out to about $10&amp;#x2F;hr. Now to add on a Hertz rental fee, that is going to get very slim.&lt;p&gt;Obviously this is still a better job for some people then there alternative. Lyft will market to new drivers with the higher rates and ease of renting a Hertz vehicle.</text></comment>
