   My Lyft home from work is usually $15-$20 before tip. Today, it was almost $37, and I don't know why. Same pickup spot and destination, same Lyft type, same everything. I last took this ride two weeks ago. I can't find a way to message Lyft about this in the app. I guess I'll be trying Uber from now on.

     @alexhall Both Uber and Lyft increase prices when there is high demand. Was there an event in your area? Like a football game or concert?

     @alexhall @GreenSkyOverMe also, lack of drivers contributes to surging as well, and this happens on any platform, uber or lyft.

     @GreenSkyOverMe Nothing I or my coworker could think of, no.
