- potatolicious 12y agoLyft has surge pricing also - called Prime Time - but is structured in a way that makes me more willing to participate. The extra price goes 100% to the driver, Lyft does not take a cut. I'm always wary of Uber manipulating surge pricing since they profit off of surge as well. Without the extra profit motive it's easier to trust that surge pricing really is a supply-management tool instead of a price gouging one.
- vonklaus 12y agoI took lift earlier today. Surge pricing was 2.25 and then fell to 2.0x. Lift prime time went up from 0.75 to 1.0x for the same area in the five minute span. Also, lift has typically been cheaper FOR ME.
