Negative pricing will not work in passenger transportation. Even zero pricing would result in overcrowding.

- jandrese 6y agoAre you saying that pricing drives demand? It seems to me that demand is driven by people who have places to go. Pricing can reduce demand, but it can't increase it beyond the base amount. Not unless people start just telling their uber driver to go around the city because they just like being inside of a car.
- anticensor 6y agoIt can, even to the point of inability to serve passengers demanding for an actual need. There are situations people taking public transport just because it is free and they have time. I mean, if there were a free taxi, I can hail it and pick my friends and acquittances randomly into it and drop them at random places.
