    Ideologically, I agree.

    But when I am putting a friend in the car to get them home after a night out or have too much luggage to keep it in the back seat? Liability, even with limits, goes a long way

        I mean, avoiding DUI and the hassle of a DD is often worth even the surcharge price. Same with not getting your car fucked up at an event.

        I try to avoid surge pricing times. But there is very much a reason people pay it

          the reason being they are pretty much an oligopoly now, so people have no choice but to pay up

          drivers are getting shafted, customers are getting shafted, Uber’s shareholders are getting richer.
