I would be very interested in learning how the Surge concept will be applied.
I am a HUGE fan of Uber and readily agree that they can apply that policy or any other pricing scheme in any way they want but...
If they don't apply it evenly, for instance not lowering the surge pricing when demand dies down, then it will effect my continued use of the platform. As a consumer, I expect to be treated fairly or I will take my dollars elsewhere.

i understand that sentiment but they kinda have consumers by the balls in BR.
Would people rather wait 45 minutes for a cab (that may never show up) and pay $15? Or would they rather pay $20-$25 and wait 10 minutes for Uber. Not to mention you know exactly when the car is going to be there and plan around it (i.e. close your tab out and enjoy the rest of your drink inside instead of sitting on the curb for what seems like forever).
To me people are going to choose uber every time, even if they are being slightly taken advantage of in price.
