He never said there would magically be enough drivers to cover all the demand all the time. But there will be comparatively more drivers at times when their profits are higher.

Might as well wait until I can get public transport in the morning...

Ok then, that's fine. Nobody is claiming Uber to be a magic bullet that solves all transportation problems. It's amazing, the sort of expectations people develop. It's a service that is offered, it's an additional option, if it doesn't meet your needs then just continue doing what you did before Uber existed...

This whole "price gouging" thing - people who don't like it can simply choose to not use Uber and move on with their day as usual. All of this outrage reeks of entitlement.
