Executive Summary

Actowiz Solutions conducted a 30-day deep-dive into hourly ride fare trends across popular U.S. routes, focusing on airport-to-city and city-to-suburb routes, such as LAX → Santa Monica, JFK → Manhattan, and Downtown Chicago → O’Hare. Using real-time scraping from ride-hailing platforms like Uber, Lyft, and Curb, we tracked fare estimates every hour — analyzing price fluctuations, surge triggers, and route-specific patterns.

This granular fare intelligence uncovered predictable surge windows, showed how pricing behavior differs by platform, and revealed which hours commuters can save up to 38% on the same ride. The insights help ride aggregators, business travelers, and pricing engines make data-driven decisions.

Research Objective

The core goal of this case study was:

  • Analyze hour-by-hour fare changes on high-traffic U.S. ride routes.
  • Identify peak fare windows and surge-prone hours.
  • Compare platform-specific behavior (Uber vs. Lyft vs. Curb).
  • Build a real-time API and dashboard to deliver hourly pricing insights for urban mobility applications.

Routes Tracked

Primary Focus Route: LAX → Santa Monica (17.5 miles)

Additional Routes:

  • JFK Airport → Manhattan (NYC)
  • Chicago O’Hare → The Loop
  • San Francisco Airport (SFO) → Downtown SF
  • Miami Intl. Airport → Brickell
  • Seattle-Tacoma Airport → Downtown
  • Boston Logan Airport → Back Bay

Visualization – Hourly Fare Heatmap (LAX → Santa Monica)

Introduction
Hour Avg Fare Surge Frequency
12 AM–6 AM $25.80 5%
6 AM–9 AM $34.60 31%
9 AM–12 PM $31.20 22%
12 PM–4 PM $29.70 18%
4 PM–7 PM $39.10 42%
7 PM–10 PM $30.20 16%
10 PM–12 AM $26.50 6%

Insight: Commuter traffic + airport pickups between 6–9 AM and 4–7 PM trigger the most price hikes.

Platform-Wise Comparison

Platform Avg Base Fare Surge-Triggered Hours ETA Avg
Uber $32.5 39% 10.5 min
Lyft $30.8 28% 11.2 min
Curb $35.2 18% 13.1 min

Lyft had more stable pricing

Uber surged most aggressively

Curb was consistently costlier

Sample Insights from Other Routes

JFK to Manhattan
  • Peak fare: $69 (Uber Black, 7 PM)
  • Lowest fare: $41 (Lyft Shared, 2 AM)
  • Surge triggers: Rain, Friday rush
Chicago O’Hare to Loop
  • Surge window: 6–8 AM and 4–7 PM
  • Uber: Faster ETA, Lyft: Lower prices
Miami Airport to Brickell
  • Surge spikes after cruise arrivals
  • Fare range: $19 – $43

Key Market Observations

Consistent Surge Zones
  • Airport pickups surge predictably during peak air traffic windows.
  • Evening downtown drop-offs have dynamic pricing triggered by demand fluctuations and local events.
Price Spread by Hour
  • Hourly fare range for the same route varied by up to 70% in some cases.
  • Early morning rides saved up to 38% vs. peak evening hours.
Platform Differences
  • Uber’s aggressive dynamic pricing can lead to higher volatility.
  • Lyft’s algorithm showed more moderate surging.
  • Curb’s traditional pricing model made it expensive but predictable.

Strategic Recommendations

1. Fare Aggregators:

Build fare alerts based on hourly patterns. Users can save 20–35% by delaying travel by just 1 hour.

2. Airport Mobility Services:

Target non-surge hours for marketing or promo codes to attract budget travelers.

3. Fleet Operators:

Use hourly fare trends to reposition drivers during high-profit windows.

4. Smart Ride Apps:

Embed Actowiz fare API into maps/ride booking tools for real-time savings alerts.

Technical Challenges & Solutions
