I drive part time on weekend nights. Canceling doesn't create surge. Demand increases surge. No one makes you take a ride during surge. I had a girl curse me out Friday night because her ride from tiger land to hundred oaks area was $72 lol

That's just an absurd price to pay for less than 5 miles.

But cancelling rides postpones and increases demand. If drivers know a mass influx of people are about to request rides (i.e. the end of a huge sporting event) they could just cancel the ride a few times until there's literally thousands of people requesting. So they get their surge pay for simply waiting a few minutes and cancelling a couple rides.
