The second I went on line a request came in and it was a good one. Uber Comfort from Cedar Park to Downtown. $30 plus a $20 tip.
I saw a surge zone that was south of downtown and headed in that direction. The traffic was messed up and I couldn't go very fast. Just as I was breaking through traffic and had touched the outer edge of the surge zone and gained $1.25 on the next ride, the surge zone moved. I kept pushing south on I35 and caught up with it just in time to exit on 290 where the heart of the zone was. I watched and counted up as the bonus began to ratchet up the deeper I plunged into the zone. It made it up to $4.00 and then a request came in.
Good and fun conversations with the next group of riders. I was confirmed brain dead when I sat at a traffic light waiting to turn left with a flashing yellow arrow and no traffic around. I knew then that it was going to be a short night.
Bounced around uptown Austin awhile. A really good looking hearing impaired lady was one of my passengers tonight. I always try to accommodate any way I can and the two of us were able to communicate good enough for all to turn out good.
Had a rider that talked an enormous amount about food and specifically sushi. His business partner has a large number of restaurants 3 of which are well known and frequently visited here locally. Good conversation and apparently an octopus has balls. I was going to ask which tentacle it would use to scratch them but I got distracted.
Nice elderly oriental lady guided me away from the tollway as we made our way to drop her off. I learned a little work around for that area if I ever need it.
