“Have Lyft/Uber Prices *skyrocketed* lately?”

“Dear PoPville,

I was curious whether folks have noticed that Lyft and Uber prices have *skyrocketed* lately (well beyond any explanation of a fuel surcharge)? Trying to go from Shaw to Brentwood tonight was $44 on Lyft or $17 on Uber. The other night getting from Chinatown to U Street was $40 on both apps. What’s going on? Is this knock on effects of confusing mask-related guidance? Or is there something else happening?”
