Lyft driver earnings just reached ‘all time highs’ because nobody wants to drive

There are more riders than drivers on the Lyft app these days, especially as more people received the COVID vaccination and pandemic restrictions started easing up in March and April. Coupled with drivers switching over to food delivery, people requesting trips may have noticed longer wait times to be matched with a ride that costs more than before the pandemic.

Drivers on the platform are making more money than ever before — especially when compared to the start of the pandemic where there were too many drivers and not enough passengers.
