Why is the surge pricing "nonsense?"
It's basic supply and demand and it prevents shortages. If it's peak hour and I must get to a meeting and someone else is just going shopping, I would be willing to pay more so I am not late. I think the shopper is willing to pay less to go on the trip at a different time.
Supply and demand. Impossible to ignore. Either high demand leads to high prices or high demand leads to shortages if prices were constrained.
Since you said "you can keep that stuff in US," I have to ask: does supply and demand work differently in your country? It would seem, based of the state of many European economies (France, Italy, Spain, Greece, as examples,) that perhaps they need more of that free market competition "stuff" and much less government and taxes.
we have fixed prices for taxi, so i know how much i will pay and ride cost much less than Uber with surge pricing which is reason nobody really cares about Uber, you can conveniently order taxi through the app, pay online and leave review, not sure why would i need Uber for this, they are rarely cheaper than legal taxi so no thanks i support law abiding companies
If nobody cares about Uber, why should it be banned? Why are the taxi drivers against it? Nobody will use it, and it'll go away by itself like every unprofitable company.
If you let them, people would have slaves.
How is that in any way related to what I wrote?
The argument "Uber has low prices because it pays badly, therefore it should be banned" is good. The argument "Uber is actually not cheaper and nobody cares about it, therefore it should be banned" is not.
