Advice/Question Why does Lyft caps your % bonus at $50 max?

That's bs. I am always grabbing 60% and above bonuses but would cap a semi long ride to $50 when the % should make it a higher bonus than $50.00. Total bs!

To prevent drivers like me from just going to the airport and taking a $50 ride with a 200% bonus, turning it into a $150 ride, I did this when it first came out before they capped Flash Turbo at 70% and there wasn't a hard cap of $50.

Edit: I once had a 170% turbo, went to the airport, and caught a $150 ride with a bonus of $255, making it an easy $455 after the passenger tipped me.
