Just once I wish drivers would work together. Every trip tonight I've done is surge but its disappeared at times and drivers are still taking rides. Especially on a night like tonight, if drivers would just turn their app off when not in a surge area it would benefit everyone. If you get a stacked ping and it's not surge, dont take it. I've been making 35 to 40 an hour and that's including down time I have the app off waiting for at least a 5 dollar surge to appear. Just once I wish people would see the bigger picture. But gotta chase those 20 ride for 15 dollar quests!!!

And.....now uber crashed. Entire network, rider and driver. Anyone else?

I couldn't end a lyft ride for like 10 minutes so I did an uber trip and once I ended the lyft trip got a $14 lyft surge. I worked both apps for about 2 1/2 hours. 12 rides all had surge except 2 Uber but they were but trips under 10 minutes. Actually none of my trips tonight were over 10 minutes. Just how I like it lol. But I agree no reason to take non surge rides tonight. I only did on those two with Uber because of the eta.

I had just completed a lyft trip and got a drink when I saw Uber was down. Was close to home so called it a night. Should be some decent surge for maybe another hour anyways.

Lyft crashed for me too... @elcentro20 i know how much you love Lyft

Did not do any non surge rides.... but saw ants chasing quest
It's crazy. Turn the friggen app off in between rides if no surge and wait the 5 min! It will benefit everyone....but they gotta get those 20 rides for 15 dollars and 30 for 20. It's honestly comical at this point.

I almost always stop requests with Uber unless I'm on surge pool or high ctb. I chose the 20 fo15 30 for 25 incentive. No reason to choose higher incentives when they are low and surge is abundant. Also it makes it easier to maintain 85% acceptance rate. Although I'm at 79% and seeing eta lol.

You can still complete those number of rides even if you go offline but they don't get it. If at least the majority of drivers logged off after accepting a ride there would be a good surge build up.
