uber/lyft---are they operating?

[wzuber]

As the title states, are they back in operation since the ruling of their labor/employee contract?
I haven't used either in well over a year or 2 and don't follow their operations at all aside from what gets posted here or I happen to catch a news headline. We're going to need them the end of the month in ventura beach areas while vacationing.
TIA

I think so. When I pull up the app it shows I can use it to book a ride.

I think so? I got an alert from uber the other day about some going to work promo b.s. they're doing so I assume they're running?

Yes. Emergency order allowed them to continue to operate

Ya, I read about all the covid protocol b.s. but wasn't certain as to operations and locations.

They’re running. But since we’re on the subject, can anyone explain why Uber keeps trying to extort me/us for more money recently?? The last several times I’ve tried using the service, I confirm and can see cars on the map, but Uber keeps cycling “looking for drivers”. Then a popup comes asking if I want to pay a premium... this goes on repeatedly for 5 minutes or so with varying prices. Example: I fly into LAX every Monday and need a ride to the west side of the airport to our job trailer. Uber starts between $15-17, then starts popping up with $30, $40 and sometimes $50+... to go 4 miles around to the other side of the tarmac, it’s totally ridiculous!!

That’s when you pit the Lyft app against the Uber app.

Prices are often similar, but sometimes can vary widely.

Cool, I figured they wouldn't just say " oh, ok we'll stop then

Yes. Emergency order allowed them to continue to operate

that makes sense. I figured they would find a way to work around it. it's way too big to just fold up and walk away.
