- potatolicious 12y agoThis is why I like Lyft a lot more. They don't take a cut of the surge portion of the fare - and removes the incentive for them to override the surge multiplier for profits' sake.

- prostoalex 12y agoI'd argue that it's a special night, one of the few nights where people like to make plans in advance. Therefore traditional push notification to get behind the wheel and start driving wouldn't work if the driver already made plans to celebrate New Year's with the family (and perhaps consume alcohol).
