    It's pretty bizarre that it charges you for a phone charger but doesn't hit you for gas.

This weirdly glazes over most of the finances involved with driving, including almost bi-weekly oil changes, and the trap where you can get stuck near a university doing minimum fare drives for two hours only making ~$5/hr. Also the star rating is unrealistic as most people will give 4 stars when they're satisfied not realizing penalties for drivers start at 4.6 and below (or at least they used to). At least now people can tip; that was a huge reason I made the switch from Uber to Lyft and still exclusively use Lyft when I need a ride.

    Also, "a passenger slammed the shit out of your car so we suspended you from driving." I'd really like to see the footnote on that one.

I drove for Uber and then Lyft for a few months after grad school and literally never heard of that. Maybe it's a footnote for leased cars that didn't apply to me?
