The Rideshare Shortage

Frustrated Person on Smart Phone Waiting for Ride Share DriverImagine that you were desperately late to go to the airport and needed transportation to get there. You decide to call up a ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft. Much to your dismay, you realize there isn’t a driver in your area. As a result, you know you’ll most likely show up late and potentially miss your flight.

For all the convenience that a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft may possess, they often lack one major thing…reliability.

And it is now more apparent than ever.

Currently, Uber and Lyft are facing a widespread supply shortage of drivers. For the drivers that do persist, they’re charging more and raising the wait times. In other words, the convenience many relied upon in these ride-sharing services has disappeared.

 


Uber and LIFT Driver Shortage

Why is there a shortage of UBER and Lyft drivers?

This phenomenon begs the question: Why is there such a shortage of drivers in the first place? According to the companies, many drivers are still hesitant about contracting COVID-19. During the height of the pandemic, they also realized the mental and physical toll that ride-share driving took on their lives, which gave them the push to move on.

Many Uber and Lyft riders have been left in the dark—literally and figuratively. They’ve endured longer wait times, higher fares, and lower-quality rides. With no guarantee of a timely pickup or a properly cleaned vehicle, customers can no longer rely on these services when it matters most.

This rings especially true if you need to get around the Phoenix area. Whether you’re trying to arrive at the airport or elsewhere, a ride-share service can’t be relied upon to get you to your destination.
