I've been seeing troves of drivers waiting in the staging area (University Park Airport) for their coveted airport rides, but we all know this is not a surefire method and wastes gas to drive up there.
Here's why we should NOT wait at the airport:
- Too many cars = no surge anymore. If we all stay further away, surge will be more likely.
- No que, therefore you can leave empty handed
- Wasting time sitting, no other demand other
than airport up there.
- The staging area is already packed. If we start causing traffic issues, there will be a crackdown.
- Missing other ride requests downtown and along Atherton.
This is just my opinion as a driver of over 3 years. There are already too many of us. Why are we waiting in the heart of busy areas and killing opportunities for surge? I suggest we be more cognizant that we are acting like sheep. If the airport or town thinks we are causing traffic or parking issues, we are going to all pay the price, and killing surge at the same time.
