lmao check out the replies to the original Dame Maureen Chuck @Dame_hohohchuck 1h1 hour ago @Uber_Sydney Fares have increased to $100 minimum fare. How do you justify that? Way to ensure public won't see you as viable option to cabs

As a Millennial I posted:here's the real headline: Uber unfairly attacked over surge pricing during Sydney terror attack This is not very good writing. "Uber Inc. has unfairly come under attack after surge pricing took effect in Sydney, Australia during a terror attack Monday. The attack, currently an ongoing siege at the time of writing, involved one or more gunmen and an unknown number of hostages (figures range from 13 through to 50) in a Sydney City coffee shop." I may be stupid, but for a moment it seemed like the attack on Uber involved one or more gunmen.

quote:Clearly the user doesn’t though, or has never taken a basic lesson in economics. The Uber surge pricing deals with demand and scarcity, when demand increases the price increases to both reduce immediate demand and to increase supply, as Uber Sydney points out in a tweet. maybe if this shithead had taken more than just a basic lesson in economics he'd know that price gouging is just simple supply-side economics and there's nothing special about it at all from a beep-boop econ 101 perspective

Surge pricing doesn't even do what it's supposed to do anyways. If there's a lot of demand, then the "incentive" to get more drivers out is the fact that if you're a driver, you're more likely to get a fare so more people will start driving anyway.

It does do what it's supposed to do, which is make more money for Uber.
