the price increase can incentivize more drivers thus increasing supply. conversely driving the price to zero would certain increase demand and eliminate supply.
i mean, if you posit inelastic demand, you dont get you pretend you derived it as a conclusion right?
Also it decrease demand. Someone who is feeling ”eh maybe I’ll take an uber or the train” will be more likely to take the train.

But never high enough to meaningfully dilute or really in any way change demand, and by raising the number of drivers, the parent company ultimately still makes more profit.
This seems self reinforcing.

I'm not pretending anything, I'm considering the reality on the ground when I travel across the US.
