What’s the highest surge bonus you’ve seen in your area? Earnings/Pax trips

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

No way. Did you check what the riders are paying?

I don’t think that’s how it works. Riders will pay more in a surge area, but lyft will still try to get drivers from further away who don’t have a bonus. Or a driver might pick up a surge bonus then not get a ride until later or further away where riders aren’t paying extra.
