You need to open an economics book. They don't have a monopoly on transportation (cabs, buses, people driving themselves, long walks). It doesn't make sense for them to raise prices to make more money. Know why? Because if they made more money charging ~$100 per ride, they would do it ALL OF THE TIME.
