Sticky Surge rolling out in Columbus, OH market

Anything before 6 is very hit or miss. I typically start at 6-7pm

Try the burbs on the west side. They always surge early. (6-8pm). After that you could always go back to Westerville until about 10 or 11pm, then hit downtown or campus. Campus will surge off and on until 1am and then usually stay lit up for the most part until 2:45 or sometimes 3am

Lots of entitled fucksticks on campus. So you’re gonna get some shit ratings

Short north and park street is about the same but park street is where the bros get hammered. It’s a shit show, but can be profitable if you want to deal with that crowd. Short north also has a lot of douchebags blocking the lanes. Get your pax to meet you at the corner of 4th and high instead of the parking lot that Uber says to use so you can leave easily.

Don’t follow the surge chasers into the brewery district. It’s fake as fuck for the most part, and when they leave it will almost always surge, so stay put.

Stay the fuck away from the schott. I won’t go there even if it’s 3x after a show. You’re going to get trapped and the surge won’t make up for lost time.

Nationwide: pay attention to what’s going on there and figure out when it’s going to let out. Go to park street and sign off. Wait for it to hit at least 2x before signing on and you can just roll down park st (it turns into front st after vine) to make a quick pickup. Never go thru there from a different direction or you will be fucked. Also text pax to meet you at park & vine st. If they won’t, just cancel quickly and grab another. Vine st makes a quick getaway and you won’t get trapped
