As I said, it will look at that rider to see what they've experienced paying over their history for that ride, and then maybe add a surcharge or a surge fee for the time of day. It then looks at the driver, at their desperation aspect or what's called their “acceptance rate”. As that gets low, you get in trouble with Uber. Then it will offer you what it thinks is the lowest amount you will accept, based on your desperation to stay with Uber or to just keep going on the platform.
