I’ve heard about this tactic from people working at Uber years ago. I think they’re aware that it happens. The way it was described to me is the Ubers are in a line at the airport and each car signs off except the very first. That way rides keep coming and the first person in line gets surge pricing

This seems easy to fix on Uber/Lyft's side --- to recognize that they don't need to maintain book depth. At the airport, since passengers are effectively queued up.
