Would also be great if it refreshes automatically. Over time I am sure you can also create an algorithm to predict the fluctuations in surge pricing. For example, you can get my address and then tell me how likely is it for surge pricing to die down based on historical data and predictions.

That's a good idea. It will take a bit longer, than I had anticipated to analyze and predict the data but I'll get around to it :)

This is great, thanks! Have you thought about being able to enter your address and show current and nearby surge prices? If there is no surge pricing two blocks west of me, that'd be great to know.

Cool project. Would it be difficult to expand to NYC or other cities?

No, actually not. I just started out with San Francisco, but I'll gladly add some more cities. Which are the biggest "Lyft-cities", do you think?
