Is it worth going out or is there a lot of dead time between pings?

Welcome to the summer.

Which is what the summer is like.

June and July is cool, I’ll give you August.

Dead. Stay home. Boston Calling had almost zero surge. Been driving around Boylston St and Beacon, not a single ping in 22min.

June and July are worse then August imho.

And today is the weakest at Boston calling as far as the acts.

Can you imagine driving no surge on Saturday night?

Tomorrow will probably be like Friday surge-wise. A lot of drivers who work Monday morning at another job will stay home, plus Eminem is performing and it will probably be the first sellout of the weekend

Had a very good night but I had to switch over to lyft to take advantage of prime time. Deadmiled maybe 40 minutes in total as well. Still pretty good over 6:30-6:40 hours.
Tomorrow should be the gold mine. Plan to work 4-12.

There were people who needed rides. I was at the W around midnight. Circled around twice, no ping !!! Too many ants.

It was so quiet from midnight to 1:50am that a lot of ants must have headed home early because surge exploded after 2am. I caught a short 250% Lyft PT then got really lucky to grab a 2.7 Uber Harvard Sq to Braintree. Picked up a couple of local DF trips before deciding to just deadmile it back home. $159 on Uber and $36 on Lyft tonight in 5 hr 20 minute.

IF you worked Boston Calling last year, then you know what happens around 1-2am

I had some bad luck there. Got a 70% power zone to Quincy and the surge was dying when I got back. Got a 100% prime time to Waltham but they canceled;(. Settled for 70% power zone to Eastie and a free cannoli .

Expect a lot of cops around causeway and landsdowne tomorrow night. Be prepared for road closures.

Southie sports bars should be popping for a while, too.

Regardless how slow it is, someone still gotta be making 30-40/ hr

The funny thing is riders have been complaining about the higher rates going home when we saw no surge Uber was jacking prices on them. Drove a couple from Auburndale to Boston calling yesterday. It was a$2o fare for them. They told me the night before uber wanted $80 to take them home. Did anyone see a 4x surge Friday night at Boston Calling?

It was over 3.0 on Friday.
