Colon, who lives on the Northwest Side, said he started driving for Lyft in May 2018. He didn’t have a car, so he rented one through Lyft’s Express Drive program with Hertz. Colon said he was allowed to drive the car for work and personal use as long as each week he completed at least 20 Lyft rides and earned at least $278 to pay for the rental. Colon said he made $726 one week last month, thanks to the NBA All-Star Weekend and the Chicago Auto Show, but business has dried up in the last week.
