I understand that prices went up as a result of demand going up. And in the event of it being new years, rainy, a parade is in town or whatever, that's reasonable.

I don't understand how a human being can write a tweet like that explaining the price increase, for that price increase to stay in place for an hour, and only after significant blowback, for them to say "oh, we'll not charge riders."

That to me is the part that's actually worrying.

Why would that be worrying? A lot of people wanted to leave the area all at once. There were not enough drivers in the area. To attract more drivers, they need to offer the drivers an incentive to get out there and drive. So they raised the price. It makes perfect sense and I see no ethical issues in what Uber did.

All of this Uber hate is getting ridiculous.
