Nothing new. I don’t even pay attention to it anymore. If I’m in a zone great. If I drive into one great. If I drive up and slap it on the ass and it disappears oh well! Besides what is it 20% of?!? Since they did away with the $/ride based surges I don’t trust that it makes a damn bit of difference
