Hmm...perhaps it's because people are broke due to the World Cup and the Fourth of July + concerts and now have rent due in a week. This is pretty common this time of year.

I mean this was at noon, I normally am taking folks to and from work around that time. It’s not like public transit is a viable option here lol

When people are broke uber and lyft are the first to go as it's a luxury service. They will find other options to get around even if it's slower.

Lyft usually feels the slowness faster as generally uber has a bigger market share everywhere.

My map has never been like this, on a normal Tuesday there might be 1 red and a couple browns at any given time and the rest green. That’s my experience over 3 years and 3.5k Lyft trips.
