I was making out good doing shorties from the Rose Bowl, it made me almost regret taking 2.1 XL to Norwalk for $92 since it left me in a dead zone. I started hightailing it to LBC but then got a Black from Bellflower of all places to Manhattan Beach. Still thought about going to LBC but figured I wouldn’t get there on time so I took an LAX ride that got me back to the core. After that I built up a PPZ up to $15 that eventually disappeared without a ride coming in

Sounds like you did a 500+ day as well Nice. What was the Rosebowl PPZ starting at 10 - 12 or 20 making it like 20 to 40 dollars extra per ride and what got like 4 of them?

Is Lyft that stupid? The majority of their revenue base is made up of regular Lyft passengers.
Pretty much, so they steal from the Poor "Regular Lyft" and Give to the rich.... "Lux and Up"

Ole reverse Robin Hood as$ Lyft :)

Last monday just anting around the PPZ I was making $6 per trip to take people around Long Beach... but then it went completely dead. Lyft lost $$$ on every trip but it's been dead since then. I'll get like 2 rides PPZ then it stops.

Got catfishes a couple times on Lyft then turned off the app

How you going to look all cute in your pic and then walk up looking like Yokozuna.

This morning I had to do my work routine while waiting for trips. Because I wake up in PPZ / Surge (LOL) area... I can max it out and it won't send me any trips unless they're long trips. It took me 45 minutes to get the first ping and then another 20 minutes to get the second ping. UBER don't send me anything good. It'll be like 12 mins away in the ghetto ... I'm not stealing money from XPools or pools anymore because I feel bad.

I didn't figure out how to game the PPZ until the end of the week mostly because that was when it finally started appearing in the general area I was in. Early in the week I saw it once on Monday and nothing until Friday.

Good job. So, I guess we have to find the areas. Is it when there is a touch of red that there is a high probability of bonuses?

I would have made $62 plus a far less likelihood of tip if this was on select. I probably ended up waiting 1-2 hrs more for it, as I was 1-5 select when i was #8 on lux and turned Uber off. I don't mind as I can watch Dodgers games on my phone while I wait to pass the time quickly at night. Lyft made $7 on this trip.

I wish it was south instead so less deadmiles, but I did end up getting a lux black in dtla on my way home which lessened the blow. Total miles driven 82 door to door(including deadmile from home to lax) for $153 total.

I have not gotten that email and I don't see it in the application.
F Lyft man, every time we find a way to make the system work for us they cut it off #Lyftporn
Dang and we were the last to get the PPZ and I for one with an upper tier car like them UGH
Just lost like 3 to 20 dollars per ride

Oh well it was an increase for a quick min
will still get a little bonus which is better than before, unless they are saying in a weird way, that they wont give PPZ / PT for Black Lux XL, LUX, Black Lux, rides because they are not in demand... They are very tricky with their wording...

I am disappointed but was prepared for this fo happen. Almost every XL and above ride with PPZ was losing money for them, without me even trying. There is no way it was sustainable even if they were making extra from the rental ants. It was fun while it lasted
