> Uber is already has incentive to keep the surge pricing reasonable -- not only do they suffer from spoilage, but if a driver clocks in during the surge and doesn't get a rider, he's less likely to clock in during the next surge. I disagree. Since Uber takes a percent of the price, it's in its best interest that the surge scales fast. 5X is unreasonable, it should be capped at 3X. It's not like the Honolulu Uber drivers would multiply as the surge increases, the service is already maxed out and has become first come first served.
