One would think the price would increase until someone would pick you up.

Uber should add the ability to bid up your route--like when it's taking a long time to match you to a driver, or you want to entice a driver who is nearby so you can get where you're going sooner.

You don't find it a bit dystopian that someone has to pay more for a ride only because they live in a poor neighborhood?
If driving people from or to poor neighborhoods increase risks for the driver then it's fair risk compensation.
Uh, won’t that make the neighborhood, I don’t know, poorer?
You heard it here first, folks. The invisible hand of the market solves racism!
