i think uber at least (not that i want to defend anything they do) is different, because they don’t have low rates to smother their competition; they have low introductory rates to attract riders and drivers to the service
unsure if that’s also predatory pricing? seems different to me
- smileysteve 8y ago> they don’t have low rates to smother their competition Whether their competition is Lyft, Taxis, or public transportation, their subsidized pricing is a big factor to their customers.
- richardhod 8y agoJust because they have a nice PR-friendly story to tell doesn't make the pricing any less predatory. The point of predatory pricing is to attract people to the service, to shut down competition.
