Fair enough, the driver may not have perceived it that way though. Just because it's a fancy neighborhood doesn't mean it's a desirable drop-off location for the driver's purposes. Just because there is a Lyft pickup spot out front doesn't mean it is easy to get there from where the driver currently is. Another possibility is that your ride wasn't subject to a primetime fare and they thought that they had a good chance of getting one that was by canceling and waiting for the next request. That doesn't justify poor driver behavior, but I'm just being realistic. Apologies for implying that you were doing anything wrong, I only meant to give a driver's perspective of the valid reasons for avoiding rides. That said, I've gotten the impression that I'm more 'honest' than most drivers so it's possible there are some scams or strategies which create weird incentives/behavior that I'm not aware of.
