i got taken to OC alot 4 the past few days, where the holes?
That's actually in a grimy prole & industrial area of South LA

Wow still holding too....down to 100%, but hey Lyft surges always fluctuate.

I've gotten random +250% around there a few times just driving past, so it's very real and with pings to back it up too...

where? 200 on premier?
Lyft surge is uniform on all vehicle classes....+200% line also means +200% original plus and premier. And vice versa.

I was just clicking around in pax mode and screenshotted.

PS although if you drive premier and/or plus, you miiiight wanna keep your pax app setting off premier/plus when browsing surges that you want a piece of

Lyft app has a nasty tendency to "reserve" you for Premier or Plus duty based on its guesses about demand ---- which could royally screw you, barring some unicorn, if you're sitting in a +650% bar rush.

Ain't no one intentionally ordering Premier +650% on a random friday.

.......

Anyway, why you so greedy? I though you had 2.5x (+150%) boosts???

Leave the natural surge to the boost-less surge snipers.

I have only done 1 lyft ride, so I don't know much about the app.

Yesterday, I was at lax and since uber wasn't letting it surge properly, I turned the lyft app on, and there were different PT offers around lax, can someone familiar with them explain them?

Thank You

Natural PT is surge

PT is in +% notation

+100% = 2.0x
+650%= 7.5x

Etc

Also theres stuff like "guaranteed PT" / "power zone" / whatever.... that's UberBoost

Cancels and skips drive up PT%
So does checking a location's rate using pax mode

Turn on the pax app and check PT on each rideshare sign. This will tell you if you should accept.

But...you need a second phone or a beta APK running concurrently with a separate login

Bit of a PITA, but worth it
2nd phone a must. Might expand to 3 once Lyft approved. New app update killed my PT % display on app on 1st phone but conflict of interest on my 2nd phone.:oops: I would like to see the PT% before ping expires like this. Maybe an easier way?

Yeah don't update your old APK on your pax app phone

I was just lazy hence the new screenshot from my main driver phone (hidden benefit though -- you can screenshot PTS with timestamps hiding the address lol)

My usual one looks like yours.
