So it's Uber fault she didn't see the LARGE NOTICE of surge pricing prior to requesting the ride?
never used uber but this sounds alot like price gouging.

It's called supply and demand. Not gouging. It's advanced level economics.

Supply and demand, and they are not sneaky about it either...you have to confirm you understand there is currently surge pricing at least 3 times before you actually get a ride

its called people accepting the price and agreeing to pay for it. there are multiple other ways to travel

Sounds like your opinion is legit.

Pretty simple... (# of people who want a ride) / (# of cars available). As that ratio increases so does the price multiplier, and the inverse it true as well.

Ever notice how flights are more expensive on certain days? Crazy concept I know.
