Went to bachelor party in North Beach. When it came time to go home we approached a cab driver that had been waiting curb side for around the 10 minutes we had stood there and talked. He said he already had a fare. We offered him more money and off we went. That was the cabby's version of demand pricing. Personally I like that Lyft/Uber can tell me how much it will cost before I get in the car. Cabs can rarely do that and I have taken complete tours of cities at times when a more straight forward route existed.
