This app maps out the Lyft Prime Time values in the area immediately surrounding you, giving you insight on where the cheapest pick-up point may be for your Lyft ride.
Help & Instructions:
• This app uses Lyfts API to get fare estimates for locations near you, and returns the Prime Time percentages for each one, color coded based on the highest and lowest rates around you.
• Tapping a pin will launch the Lyft app with the pin location as your pick-up point. Tapping an empty place on the map will draw a new grid of surge values centered around the place you tapped.
Disclaimer: While this app uses real-time fare estimates provided directly by Lyft, Prime Time rates can change in a matter of seconds, so in the event of any discrepancies between this app and Lyft, the Lyft app will always be correct as it locks in a Prime Time value for a set period of time.
This is the very initial release so bugs are very possible, so please email [email protected] with any issues, feedback, or suggestions. (And if you think this looks eerily similar to an app called NoSurge, it is because I made that one as well!)
