> As of a few years ago you can choose which rides you take without penalty.
That wasn't there before and I have no reason to believe it now without evidence. Turning down rides always had negative effects such as less rides being assigned to you.
> The back-to-back ride thing has nothing to do with having the Lyft app installed or not
You should look this up in older news articles. AFAIK that's just not true. Maybe it's changed, but at one point Uber was changing their app behavior when you had Lyft driver app installed.
> If you drive when it's busy the incentives don't matter.
So you're implicitly agreeing with me that the incentives are perverse and encourage you to drive during peak times?
> I don't know any Uber drivers in my city who lease their cars from Uber. Never heard of this happening.
Then I encourage you to read about this. There's a large fraction of people who don't believe anything unless it's happened to them or their friends personally. And I think this is a shame given how available information is with today's internet. This definitely 1000% happens. I've seen it with my own eyes.
