> since <5 starring people is a death sentence, it provides a better way of differentiating between great and sucky On the other hand, since Lyft won't match you with a driver again if you rate them 3 stars or less, that gives incentive to give low ratings to drivers you don't want to be matched with ever again. I haven't had many of those, but I'm glad the option is there when it's come up: for example, texting while driving is an automatic 3 and a flag for safety, if not a 1. I don't want to ride with people who are liable to get me killed. Attempting to give me religious tracts is an automatic 1 (yes, this actually happened). Being creepy to me in general is a 1 (see: the guy who insisted on repeatedly screenshotting the Lyft app with my profile picture visible while I was in the car with him). People who make me sit in the back, especially when their front seat is completely empty, are an automatic 3 unless they make up for it by being a really great conversationalist (and I've learned to always cancel on people with vans, because they like to electronically open their sliding doors as soon as I start walking to their vehicle) Sadly, this is a feature Uber doesn't have. With Uber, you can't do anything to make sure you're never matched with a particular driver again. I just wish Lyft also added a "never match me with this person again" option when cancelling rides or when being cancelled on... I have a handful of drivers I will never ride with because they were utter dicks to me when finding where I am. This includes a few people who, in an office park in the suburbs, parked a block or two way and demanded I walk. Then there was one guy who parked at the hospital across the street (a six-lane arterial with no traffic light in sight) from where I was and had the gall to send the signal that he was here: I called him to tell him he's at the wrong location, he responded "I'm at the hospital", and as soon as I said I'm somewhere else, he shouted "CALL ANOTHER!" at me and cancelled on me. Or the guy who texted me to demand I text him my address and then cancelled on me when I told him I already put my destination into the app. I've just had to memorize their names and remember to cancel whenever I'm matched with them.
