Uber & Surge Pricing

im unfamiliar with the intricacies of uber; are you referring to the price for the consumer or the rate an uber driver earns?

I mean what they charge consumers: https://www.uber.com/info/how-surge-works/. Apparently there is a controversy around this.

Because the average faggot somehow implicitly assumes supply is infinite or incredibly inelastic and that demand is fixed.

I like the surge model. Allows for quicker pickups and for the drivers to make more money.

Consumers are entitled bitches that don't realize that even with surge uber is still usually cheaper than a cab. Uber is dirt fucking cheap. So cheap that without surge, drivers are practically doing charity work on some rides
