Their overhead is that they don't have enough drivers. They incentivize having more drivers by giving them more money during high traffic period. For example, most people don't want to drive on Halloween night. Because Uber is entirely optional as a driver, there's no incentive for you to work on Halloween night if you don't get paid more than usual. If someone told me I could work on Christmas for 8 bucks an hour, I would say no. If they told me I could work on Christmas for 20 bucks an hour, I might do it. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:891650599] in "fare...
