I drove these people to key Biscayne today. Hit last ride before I crossed the bridge.
No surge after I dropped them off. So I stayed offline.
Then $1 surge appeared. Ignored it. $2 surge. Same thing. Went to $4 so I decided to drive 1.5 miles to get it. About .5 miles away, it dropped to $1.50! So I stayed offline and parked across from the Ritz.
Went back to $4 so I went online while parked. Then it went to $13! In a matter of minutes.
Waited 20 minutes for a trip. In the meantime it dropped to $5.
Got a trip to Coral gables. I got $26 Uber got $4. I only got the $13 sticky.
this bs with surges has to stop. Uber gives you the sticky and then won't give you a ride until the surge disappears so they don't have to pay a multiplier.
this can't be profitable for them. Then again, no one has ever accused Dara of being able to turn a profit.
