You have a few options from there. You can either head for Rt. 1 and set your destination filter north, or you could find a place to park and wait for your next ping. Between all the University, hotels, and all the businesses around there, you shouldn't have to wait long.

 

[SurgeorSuckit]

Call the passenger (pax), have them tell you what Terminal and door they are at, and stay on the phone with them until you find each other. You might have to loop around if the cops tell you to move. Find pax, take pax to destination. Can't really tell you more then that...

My apologies, i probably wasn't too clear. Im down and plainsboro now just wondering if i should stay or head back north with the filter on. So far, I've been down here for 40 minutes and got 1 10 minute ride

You're in a good area if the spot you're sitting at isn't working move a couple miles. People from that area go to EWR all the time.

If you move move west towards Lawrenceville or Trenton so it increase your odds catch something going north east. As rescue Brian said closer to Route 1 the better

If you're hungry, there's a bagel place in Plainsboro that was just on Guy Fieri's show. Bagel Street on Plainsboro road

I KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT DELICIOUS BREAKFAST SANDWIches

 

[UberwhoIaM]

Meant to say west

 

[PorkRollUberAndCheese]

Plainsboro is largely residential, and everyone there is at work. Get down into Princeton and you'll have better luck. Otherwise, start taking Rt 1 and the long way back up to EWR. You'll troll through areas bound to get a hit.

You are forgetting that calls to EWR are gonna be few and far between starting soon because of cancellations due to the storm. They are gonna cancel flights so they can park the planes somewhere out of the reach of the storm.

I've noticed an unusual amount of people going to the airport this morning everybody is trying to beat the storm

The airlines just announced they are waiving all fees for transferring flights from Tuesday and Wednesday to today

Thanks all. Right now im in cranberry. Should i slide down to trenton or Princeton right now 10am in hopes of cayching one?

 

[UberwhoIaM]

Princeton

I looked at departing EWR flights and nothing is cancelled yet. Like pork roll said your best bet is slowly making your way up Route 1 with your destination filter on. I would be shocked if you didn't get at least something going north

You're heading away from the Rides. Princeton, Cranbury and Monroe will be ghost towns this time of day. Go towards Princeton, wait a bit, no bites, head on rt 1 north, NOT THE TURNPIKE. it's slower but you'll have a better chance for rides.

Just got something, i hope its north.
Side note, this area is so spaced out...looks like a great area to drive in comparison to the north

Hey, same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago on a weekend. I decided to stay around Princeton University. I got a few good local calls, then I declined a Westchester ride, then kicked myself after I saw it was surged. Gotta pay more attention from now on.

Are/were you using a destination filter?

 

[njctuberx]

You may want to consider just heading back. This time of day it's hit or miss and you may wind up 8 to 10 dollars an hour.

 

[Moondance]

As noted above. Set filter to ewr and go up RT 1 North. Princeton University is on spring break and so is Rutgers University in New Brunswick. Unless you get lucky with a salesman that came down for a presentation. You will be in Rahway before you get a good ride taking you up north. Good luck

 

[Wyza]

Yessirrrr. And that ride was an airport run...got lucky because my time was running out

Thanks everyone for the advice. I was able to navigate my way to a spot that got me an airport run

Glad it worked out for ya.... It's obvious with this storm coming everyone planning on flying tomorrow/Wednesday is trying to get out today....

I hope you stuck around princeton. Good surges today. Too bad I have my day job.

Princeton goes on spring break at the end of the week. Their schedule is a little different then the other colleges.

They have mid terms right now.
