How do you propose dispensing a limited number of drivers to a larger number of customers? There are really only two solutions: get more drivers or get fewer customers.

Surge pricing can incentivize more drivers to come online. I don’t see how you can reduce the customers in a short timeframe.

Drivers don't materialize out of thin air in a short time period.

Surge pricing also reduces your number of customers in that moment.
