I don't see it as bait-and-switch, either. Uber makes it clear when the ride you're considering will be subject to surge pricing, and it's very easy to abandon the reservation at that stage. I can't think of a time (in NYC) that I've seen surge pricing and been surprised, it's always been during inclement weather or peak times (e.g., Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve).
- smackfu 12y agoYeah, I've seen what happens to taxis when there is no surge pricing. The dispatchers don't even pick up the phone if you call for a pickup, because there's enough business that they don't want to waste a taxi's time driving to pick you up. Not exactly an improvement.
