The FTC has been studying surveillance pricing since 2024 and recently its chairman told a Senate committee it may be time to review its disclosure rules for companies.
Oh Uber absolutely does this! I drive for them occasionally, and sometimes I’ll see price hike a little and not for very long. Then I tried to use it one time drunk at a bar ~2 miles away. Checking back and forth for about an hour or went from ~$70 to ~$30. And shocker, the driver said he was only getting a few bucks on the surge premium.
one time i saw uber was $60 bc i was in downtown so i walked into a residential area and it dropped to $30. the driver came from downtown to pick me up.
