Surge pricing
Uber's lawyers tried to get a judge to dismiss the suit, but it's going forward, with a trial set for November.
Just so we're all clear on this: Your Uber driver is not allowed to pull any "surge pricing" funny business over the next couple blizzard days.
Siding with Uber is siding with apple pie, white picket fences, sharing HBO Go passwords, Kid Rock anthems and everything else great about American capitalism.
Surge pricing goes into effect when demand for a car reaches exceptional levels, with examples including Halloween, New Year's Eve, and yes, Icy Wet Snow Day From Super Hell.
Is Uber's surge pricing legitimized, or just a tool for gougers during our Hurricane Sandy transportation crisis?
