Were you going to NYC (or anywhere in NY)? NY and NJ do not have a reciprocity agreement, so taxis from NYC are allowed to charge 2x the fare between NYC and EWR and the same for NJ taxis to NYC. Uber/Lyft can pickup / dropoff in either state and don't appear to operate under the same restrictions.

Lyft/Uber drivers from NJ can't pick up from NY. Whereas NY drivers can pick up from both states. NJ drivers have to drive back empty.

I had to cancel a trip from Fort Lee to Stony Brook when I discovered the driver had NJ plates.

They don't know where they're going until they arrive at location.
