This has not been my experience at all. Surges usually last between 10 and 30 minutes with an average closer to 30.
The only thing I agree about with the author of the article is that the surge is highly predictable if you use some common sense: in the morning, if the weather has just turned worse, from 6.05 to 6.15 pm when people are leaving offices, etc

- c2h5oh 11y agoI am - that's how I know how long the surges lasted: by how long I had to wait for the 'surge ended' notification. This also means that all my surge time estimates are underestimating the actual length, since I've only started measuring while the surge has been active for a period of time.
