If you have surge, they just lower the fare even more to offset it.Ive wondered the same about how Trash Radar and Up Front Fleecing handles "surge", because...Ill see a $5.00 surge, with an Up Front Fleecing fare totaling to like $6.50, meaning...minus surge the the so called base fare is like $1.50 ( Dara would want me to take a $1.50 ride?). As per Uber math, less is more!
