Why is that any better? If I want to go home on New Year's Eve and I can take annoying public transport or a quick Uber at the same time as everybody else, it makes sense that I should have to pay more. Economics dictates as demand goes up and supply remains the same the price should go up. Once either supply goes up or demand goes down the price goes down. Uber is literally modeling economic theory.
