I tried to use Lyft last weekend in San Diego. The first idiot driver went to a gas station instead of the main Old Town San Diego Transit Center (for Amtrak, the bus and Metro Trains all in 1). Not only did the first driver yell at me that I must have done something wrong, but that I was supposed to find this Mobil station and meet him there. When I told him that he'd have to come and get me, he said he didn't know what the Transit Center was or where Old Town San Diego was - which is kind of like a NYC taxi driver not knowing what Madison Square Garden was or where Times Square was! The second driver "missed the exit" off the freeway, circled around, then "missed the turn" - again and again and again. After watching this idiots time to pickup drop down from 4 minutes to 1, then go up to 7, back to 2, then up to 5, then back to 1 that up to 11, I just canceled his ride also and took a taxi. I took Uber from the Catamaran Hotel in Mission Bay down to the main Amtrak station in Downtown San Diego for $17. The driver was right on time, pleasant and got me to the train station nice and easy.
I've been trying to delete my account with Lyft for over a week now and, for good reason, they do not have a working phone number - their listed number is actually a taco restaurant in San Francisco. I've tried their contact page and gotten nothing but the run around. I was lied to by one of the customer service reps telling me, in writing, that they have no way to delete my cc info from their 3rd party payment processor Stripe, which is untrue. I've been in contact with Stripe who told me that the only way to delete my account and cc info from them is to have Lyft do it and it would take Lyft under 30 seconds to do it. DON'T EVERY USE LYFT OR GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION! USE UBER, THEY ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
