I will say that I looked for an Uber at around 11:30 Thursday night in St Louis Park and for the first 5 minutes all I got was "No Drivers" warning. I eventually got one and he said there weren't many drivers due to shootings and I was his last fare of the night. I didn't care enough to check his story but Uber drivers definitely weren't swarming all over the app screen like I usually see.

Bars are going to drive up demand in later evenings, they close at 11 pm here because of COVID. I think Uber drivers can also still collect on the federal unemployment, so they’ll only work x amount of hours. I use Uber weekly, I haven’t really run into a lack of drivers, but I’m not out later in evenings.

Good decision to switch the hotel.

Unfortunately car-jackings are exponentially on the rise here, so I’m not surprised to hear about a lack of accessibility to Uber drivers, late at night.

St Louis Park is normally a beehive of Uber activity. Guessing these are not 'normal' times.
