I haven’t seen a driver that has a ride share when one is from Lyft and the other is from Uber.

But that doesn’t matter because you would calculate minimum wage by taking the amount of time worked with the income and then computing the difference between the hourly rate.

I think it's quite common for drivers to have both the Lyft and Uber app open, and to take the first/best available ride that pops up from either app.

The question is whether you'll be paid by Uber while completing a ride from Lyft, and if the answer is "no" how that'll happen technically. Or perhaps you don't get paid for idle time - I'm not quite clear on that point.
