Lyft's ANTI-Driver Move: Third Party App Deactivations?

In this video, Chris from The Rideshare Guy unpacks Lyft’s latest move: threatening to deactivate drivers for using third-party apps like Gridwise, Maxymo, Solo, and more.

These tools help drivers make smarter decisions, avoid bad rides, and earn more, but Lyft is now cracking down, saying they violate the Terms of Service.

Chris explains what’s in the email, why this is happening now, and whether drivers should be concerned about getting kicked off the app.

He also shares how these apps provide drivers with more control, transparency, and safety features that the algorithm may not consistently deliver.

If you’re trying to earn more while driving less and want to stay informed, this video is for you.
