i don't follow your math. can you expand on the increase. $125 / 12 hour means it is around 12 bucks an hour. if you have 3 rides an hour (don't know if doable), it would increase a single ride by 4 bucks. that doesn't seem the end of the world

I would estimate my typical cab fare in NYC to be around $17-$25. $4 for a single ride is 16% - 23%. That's a big difference.

At least in downtown San Francisco, many shared rides cost $4 total.

Not being from SF, how long is that ride and how many share the ride?

~10 minutes avg ride time in SF. You also need to take into account the extra 4-5 avg minutes it takes for a driver to pick up the person. So I would assume a driver in SF can make 4 rides an hour.
