Are prices fixed or something? Why would a cab say no to a long ride otherwise.

  Going back alone earns no money. Not sure how the exact math checks out, but drivers don't seem to think it's a good deal.

    IMO that's a problem with Uber's pricing model. If the destination doesn't have enough people requesting new rides, the price to that destination should be higher. If the price accurately represented the drivers' costs, they wouldn't refuse the rides.

  I actually finally asked a driver. They give a multiplier bonus for the number of rides you do in an day.

    Well that explains it. I wonder why the cab companies do that.

      If I had to guess, to get driver to favour uber over lyft etc, so when you open the uber and lyft app and compare, there is always an uber closer. That's just a guess.
