Lyft's "Destination Filter" Can Save Driver Time and Boost Earnings

Uber and Lyft drivers do not know the "destination" of their accepted riders until pick-up which can lead to lower productivity and earnings if you end up returning to you 'home base' empty after a medium-long trip. Lyft's "Destination Filter" is a major step in the right direction to remedy this situation. The destination filter can only be activated in regions where Lyft Line is available, and will only pair you with passengers using Lyft Line (since they've also entered a destination). You can complete three destination sessions per day — a session representing at least one completed ride on the way to a set destination. Whenever you remove, change, or reach your destination, we will check to see if you've completed any rides. If you've dropped off any passenger(s), that counts as one. The time you spend in destination mode does not count as time in driver mode. When you're in destination mode, whether you are in a ride or not, it will not qualify toward the Power Driver Bonus or the Average Hourly Guarantee. That time isn't included with your time in driver mode for the day or week in the Dashboard or summaries. Share your comments on this new feature with Uber and Lyft Driver Best Practices today.
