> someone who drives for both Uber and Lyft (which isn't a common thing, by the way, contrary to popular belief) Really? Do you have any numbers on that? Every I've talked to who has done one has done both. > Prospective Uber drivers, on the other hand, can start working right away without even a face-to-face meeting with anyone. All they have to do is apply online. It's not quite "right away", you still have to go through a background screening, which can take quite a while. With Lyft, I had my mentor orientation the day after I applied and was approved 3 days after. Uber, on the the hand, while not requiring an in-face meeting, took 3 weeks to finally approve me, after requiring additional documentation regarding my driving record on my previous license.
