      As if they’d write something like that? I think it’s more likely they’ll just show a higher price as if it’s the normal base price and hope people don’t notice or care.

        If they were smart, they’d raise the prices to whatever their maximum surge pricing is and then show discounts on slower times. Then when they roll back the policy, they get a sneaky price increase because the higher prices were the “non-discoumted” prices
