Well, you have two different perspectives here... for the $$$ it always has been for me. The flip side is the risk of a messy passenger or an extra obnoxious passenger. You have to weigh it out and make your best decision.

On Friday night I drove until 1:30 am and had a few "tipsy" passengers but nothing obnoxious as of yet. Four chatty seniors in college didn't bother me the slightest. I'm sure I'll come across some more interesting passengers for sure.
Huber said Lyft is doing everything they can to ensure there are enough drivers on the roads for New Year's Eve.
If the demand exceeds the amount of drivers, then Lyft will go into what it calls "dynamic pricing" for drivers and "prime time" for riders. It increases prices and is supposed to incentivize drivers to log on and take a few rides to decrease demand and get party-goers where they need to go.
So those $3.00 rides became $12.00 ? did you drive any and get a trip out of downtown? I had an uber ride where they went from Station Street to the Holiday Inn rather than ride back home to Soddy Daisy because of the 4.0x surge...
I stayed pretty busy all night until I stopped at 3 am. I had several local rides but also caught a group that I picked up on market and drove them to Cleveland at 4.1x it paid $110 and they tipped me $60.
There us a popular belief that newer drivers get better calls. I can't confirm that, but it makes sense to prioritize better fares to newer drivers.
