Everybody seems to love Uber, at least until Uber implements surge pricing. The cabbies should have stayed home (or taken transit down to a rally), saved on the gas they're burning. The shortage of licensed cabs would likely cause Uber to implement 2x or 3x surge pricing. That would send a better message, I think.
Literally every time I go out in the evening on weekends I always have a minimum of 2x - 3x surge pricing. I understand supply and demand but damn does it get annoying when you're thinking before you go out "ok I'm planning on spending about $20 to and from my destination with Uber" and then it ends up being $60. On Uber I can't even see what my fee is currently at unlike a Cab where I can see the metre going up and decide if I want to get off earlier. Or maybe a fee calculator of some type.
