So the narrative that it would only be for special events wasn't true.

there may be different tiers of surge

I've seen it at 1.5X and 2.5X and 3.5X the cost. If demand is super crazy, it may be more

It won't just be for special events. Whenever it is real busy it may be 2-3times(2X-3X) the normal fare. The only time this happened to me was in NYC this past December when we tried to hail a cab on a cold, rainy, slushy night and could not get a cab for like 30min. Every cab was full that passed by. I would have done Uber 1st but a guy in our group didn't want to. Well after a while I said f it and uber was 3X the cost but at that point we didn't care. Uber was there in 2min.
