Actually, surge pricing is brilliant. If there aren't enough drivers on the road to meet demand, pricing goes up. The higher rates entice more drivers to get out there to meet the demand. Simple economics.
Contrast this with the traditional experience, where you get to wait for well over an hour to get a cab in some cities (Vancouver) during peak times.
