No. What would prevent Uber from taking all 6% raising prices and giving drivers nothing extra?

I think that's a pretty bad assumption. If that's the case, what's to stop Uber from just taking a bigger chunk now and giving drivers less without raising prices? "Market forces" is the obvious answer, and those forces aren't going away.

I would also add that drivers shouldn't be getting extra as right now drivers aren't the ones subsidizing the lower prices.
