You are right. As you say "the other day". It was like that for a short while. But now is back to how it was

 

I updated my rider app today and restarted my phone hopefully that works. It was still doing it without the lightning bolt this morning.

 

App is trying to sent you there

 

Did you do a ride estimate on the Pax app? Lyft did it to me backwards. I was going to request a ride but it was twice the regular rate. I logged in as a driver and didn't show a pink square zone where I was. WFT? Is Lyft cheating the drivers off surge rides?

 

Yes I did a ride estimate, but you can also tell just by clicking the Min. Fare and seeing that the rates aren't .13/min + .85 mile...anything higher and it's a surge. You just have to do some math to figure out of its 1.5 or 2.1 or 3.6 etc. The driver app in Uber is slightly delayed. I'm not sure if Lyft is the same way, I don't drive for Lyft and rarely do Uber anymore. Had a Pax tell me yesterday on my drive home their UberLux driver spent 10 hours at the airport before he got a request. All he did was complain to the Pax how bad Uber sucked now. Pretty sure he needs to return the Mercedes to the dealership or find a real job. Uber is a hobby, not a career.

 

Lighting bolt is alive and well...

In our market the lightning bolt is gone for riders but surge does still exist. Riders now just see a flat rate fare for uberpool and a fare estimate for uberX. Beneath it is a small message that simply says "rates may be higher than normal" if surge pricing is in effect. Apparently this is being done solely to encourage the rider to take pool rather than to blatantly tell them they're paying more than they would at any other time (aka surge pricing).

 

When you click 'Set pick-up location' it will tell you if there is a surge.
