Reading the numbers

Ride pay is what the two apps paid per ride, tips included on Uber (the Uber export itemizes fare, promotion and tip per trip) and on Lyft (whose per-ride amounts fold tips in, so the tip total comes from the earnings sheet). The Lyft Prop 22 statement puts eligible base pay at $2,541.15; subtracting that and the tips from the ride total leaves about $226.10 that Lyft paid as streak and challenge bonuses outside the per-ride record.

Prop 22 guarantees $21.61 per booked hour (120% of the $18.01 minimum) plus $0.37 per booked mile, before tips. Lyft's statement for Oct 5–19 counted 91 h 02 m and 1,671 booked miles for a floor of $2,586.31 against $2,541.15 earned, so it topped up $45.16. Uber's Sep 28–Oct 12 statement topped up $34.67 on roughly $334 of ride pay in the overlapping week, about 10%, versus Lyft's 1.8%: Uber's per-ride base sat further below the floor, and its $42.84 per trip-hour only looks better because it divides by time with a passenger aboard, not booked time.

Short rides pay far more per mile than long ones: under 2 miles runs $4.89/mi on Lyft and $3.82/mi on Uber; over 10 miles, $1.60 and $1.52. On the 60 Uber trips where the rider's price is recorded, the driver's fare was 35.8% of it ($583.32 of $1,628.79; a typical ride 34.6%), rising to 44.0% once tips and promotions are added.
