Taxi companies will never go for that though because to get the ability to that, they would need to tear down the monopoly that currently keeps them in business.
That's the part of Resolute argument that makes no sense. He keeps asking why is it fair for one company to charge surge pricing and not another, but completely ignores the fact that the current system is not fair to any potential companies wanting to enter the market or to the current customers. The Uber model is the fairest of them all. Pure open-market economics. Not to mention if the monopoly didn't exist and there could be more cars/cabs on the road, surge pricing would be less of a problem as the amount of cars on the road dictates supply and demand which dictates surge pricing.
