Heh. Your "he was given the cost" argument got blown up, time to move the goalposts.

Once again. Why should one taxi company be allowed to price gouge where others can't?
The difference resolute is that the taxi industry manufactures the supply / demand imbalance by restricting supply on purpose. That's why at least taxis get no sympathy from me.

Surge pricing is a natural supply / demand balancer that in the long run encourages supply at the right times. More cars, cars in the right places at the right times. For a decade plus I watched the cab industry give a flying F about demand in Calgary. You need capitalism, and no social interference to let the system work properly.

When you say you find its funny that the two groups are treated differently that's why.
