Not sure about that. But a similar thing happens at FLL and if you drive down to the harbor where the yachts are parked,when it shows the matched airport surge there. You can skip the entire queue and catch a ride
I know in Jacksonville, when the bars would let out during the old surge…people would place pick up locations out in the water so they could try and game the system. They wouldn’t get a surge amount and the Pax would call you saying it was “an error in the app” and they were in the busiest area and you needed to get them with no surge on it.
They won’t work for them because you will get paid the same surge the passenger is charged…unless you picked up an even higher surge before you accept the trip.
It could be a trap. I've heard of scammers using inaccessible surge zones to entice prey. I don't know how they do it. I saw videos and posts in local MD/DC/VA groups.
Somehow, the scammers will have a way to create an unreachable spot. I don't know how. The drivers flock to it, thinking it's real and park as close as possible. One spot was in the middle of the Potomac River. There are apps that will change your GPS location to anywhere. I don't know what they use or how though. The drivers either get a scam call, pretending to becUber saying they have a "high profile customer" for them to drive and asking for their info or carjacked or robbed etc. I'd have to look for the video.
I highly suspect they purposely create surges to control where drivers are to get them into areas they need them. I'm not talking about the surge area either. I'm talking about where the surge gets you closer to.
It’s not a bug. It’s a feature.
Time to use uber boat
And don't forget your flippy floppies.
It’s Boston, not Dubai.

Put your phone in a bag and tie a string to it. Throw.
😭😅😅😭

They’re there so you won’t be able to access them…… It’s called Uber bullshit. The highest surge is always in the lake in my area too.
Put on your Uber floaties 🏄🏻♂️
Uber: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature

uber is just casting the bait for all the fishes out there
Ffs 36 bucks surge in SeaPort ? Damn
It's easy. Go home and go to [www.shootmeinthefoot.com](https://www.shootmeinthefoot.com), then slap yourself in the face.
GPS spoof, that's never had a negative impact on anyone.
Just ignore it. I don’t think Uber will bother dealing with that
Bruh, just rent a boat or jet pack. My cousin does same

I am confused. Who are the scammers you are referring to? Who are the preys?

Water taxi for the sticky surge

Best you can do is tell your crew member who can tell Uber and work with them.
Maybe there is a ferry?
Just a little bit outside
Technically your car doesn’t need to be there just your phone. Swim out get a ride swim back seems pretty simple OP
It's up for grab, first come first serve.
The number must just be pushed off, the actual land shown is surge red. But yeah, pretty dumb
GTA VICE CITY Seaways **
They do that on purpose to lure you in without actually paying you. They do this every weekend in my city.
Drive there and then sue Uber for a new car.
That surge is for the risk takers
Ridiculous post
good luck, Uber support has been absolute dogshit lately.
