I had a pretty awful day and got this ride that sort of pulled my day back. The pax were pissed about the price and I had to explain the whole uber's business model to them :/
When I used to drive Select/X and X was surging high and rider b and moans about the surged pricing...i used to tell them ...
"idk if you ride with both U/L but usually when Uber is f high like rn(even if its only like mid 2's)sympathize with the rider and pretend like its super high...LYFT is almost all the time way cheaper than uBer".
(Im sure i turned out a lot of dumb uber riders to cheap lyft riders) LOLLL :p

If they say they use both, like they already check which app is cheaper atm.
I then tell them how the surge would disappear if they wait it out a bit.
And again I try to sympathize with them..n say my same line...
"yea...whenever i am driving i love surge but whenever i am a rider im usually the last person to leave the area because i wait until the surge is gone"
😅

May be that surge is suppressed due to an abundant supply of drivers, given that most of those posting on here about the deadly dangers of coronavirus, are actively looking to contract it by keeping to driving.

What is the surge multiplier and service fees % on that trip? The payout looks like a 4.0x with Uber taking 1% service fees. ... around the same to your pickup time, my driver app showed 2.1x around the same area...

Not questioning your trip income but trying to figure out if some of us see different surge multiplier on our screen

I wonder if Uber trying something similar to Lyft PPZ or that's glitch on the app

The app is just really glitchy even the apps that show uber surges don't work properly. This is just one example last night. Also have noticed really strange surge patterns this couple days where the surge drops from for example 1.9 to 1.2 in less than a minute after it just went to 1.9. Seems like they are messing around with the surge but not sure their end goal is maybe like you said they are trying something like Lyft ppz.🤷‍♂
