How long was that surge in effect?

I would say a good 15 to 20mins.. Not really sure but I grab two fares at that time while it was surging... First time I seen the surge like that in a Long time...

IMO, a 15-20 minute surge of 2.1X does not make a "surge like crazy" weekend.

I worked Friday and Saturday and saw some other surge times, but for very brief periods of time and at low surge rates.

I was just saying seeing surge all over at the same time does not happen a lot that's all.

A waitress in the South End flagged my cab after 2:30 am Sunday to South Street in JP. Said Uber was at 2.3 surge. Hmmm. Maybe that 2.1 to 2.3 surge was near constant for a few hours after all?

Her fare was $16.00 plus tip of $4. Her UberX cost at that surge would have been close to a taxi price ($2.80 per mile), with a $1 safe rider fee, but no need to tip.
