As
Super Bowl visitors flood San Francisco, even though multiple public
transportation options exists from BART to MUNI, it’s inevitable that the
popular driving services Uber and Lyft will have a Super Bowl week of strictly
business.
According to the SF Gate “streets downtown will be closed to vehicle traffic until Feb. 12.” Since that area is such a hustle-bustle part of the city, this is a concern for many commuters and people visiting alike.
An Uber driver named Robert, explained his unhappiness with the road closures. Although Robert explained he had no problem with busy days of constant driving, he said “what bothers me is with all of the street closures down in the Financial District and downtown, it is a disaster trying to get around down there right now.” He even said that all the closures actually had an unfortunate affect on business: “there are some drop offs and pickups I can’t do because there are so many street closures.”
“I like the money,” a Lyft driver named Christopher said. “I expect next week is going to be super busy” and that “it should be fun.”
The Super Bowl may boost business, but “I don’t care for it,” Robert said.
