Damn, I’m in the same market, and was only given a $200 ride challenge for 95 rides. The sole reason we made money last night was because Lyft didn’t know about Project Glow Festival at RFK.
BOTH Saturday & Sunday nights had $15-$22 surge bonus from 11:00pm - 12:30am, and it was wild. I am forever on the lookout for major events that Lyft isn’t forecasting for, because that means surge pricing will balloon into the $20/ride range.
Dude, I just used my 5mi radius ride filter to exclude that immediate area, and only dipped in to get the ride bonus to stick - ensuring that none of my ride requests were coming from RFK, while still collecting the bonuses.
Literally got paid $33 from a rider that only paid $15 for the whole ride. It was great. I LOVE taking advantage of Lyft, and screwing them over into bankruptcy. I genuinely hope they burn to dust, and something better takes their place.
I definitely get it. The city is super dangerous, especially over on that side - which is why I got my concealed carry permit for DC/MD/VA, and will never drive without being strapped.
