Heat Maps: Displaying Prime Time in Real Time

August 20, 2014

Heat maps are now featured in the Lyft app for both iOS and Android drivers in major cities nationwide.

On average, you can see a 10% bump in earnings by heading toward those pink tiles. The data refreshes every minute, considering both demand and available drivers, so the tiles may change as you interact with them.

The darkest areas need your rides the most.

Drive towards pink areas for higher chances of Prime Time.

You may notice something missing from the map: your fellow drivers’ cars. We had to cut those loose, since they slowed things down and obscured the colored patches. We’ll miss seeing our neighbors on the road, but spoiler alert: We’re also working on interactive, community-focused features for the app. Stay tuned!
