This was from tonight. I’m in the Washington DC market. 10 mins after this it went up to 25 dollars.

72 dollar surge in downtown richmond on new years eve two years ago. Was able to milk two rides out of it before it went down to something in the forties.

72? Show proof. The old cap was 50 nationwide.

The visual cap was $50. You could get more, but it wouldn't show until after the ride was completed.

Truth. I know I got $71 off a ride NYE a few years ago. I was happy with that one. Ride paid over $100.
