Seems like the main alternative to increasing prices is `it's not sustainable for us to run at all until this is cleaned up'. Is that a suitable alternative?

- jonny_eh 14y agoWe're talking $100 000 a day. That's quite a marketing budget!
- ynniv 14y agoNo, substantive marketing campaigns are orders of magnitude more. And, it depends on how many new customers they get and how long drivers will cost extra. The just raised $50 mil, and the subways will be back in a week, two tops... do the math. It isn't every day you can buy happy new customers and good press, and on the days you can it usually costs more.
