Why stay online at a concert with no surge

Think it's a server load issue. It shows at times when driver count is low.

Server overloads, doesn't respond to app, app defaults to no surge

I just don't get why anyone would pick up at a event with no surge . I would go crazy if someone puked in my car at South Bay normal rates . It's like driving uber India pool at normal rates ... no thanks

At warriors game I always waited for a 2.5ish surge, but I noticed people were online (for uberx) long before the game was over, at zero surge.

Then uber did the guaranteed 1.5x bonus and nobody went offline at all, guaranteeing it didnt create real surge.

More of uber subsidizing the riders

I agree, at the end of the day, it's always a server issue, but if theres a low count of drivers on the city streets, that's less drivers hogging the server.

Right now, 1:53am surge is showing on the drivers app. (2.4x and I just went online)

It did a little in ninth inning as people started leaving AT&T, then it stopped.

At 5pm it never shows. Lots more drivers
