Uber has suspended surge pricing in Delhi due to local laws

Uber has had to suspend surge pricing in Delhi. The company's surge pricing algorithm -- which heightens the price of an Uber ride during busy times -- seems to kick in too often and for too long. The reason is that Delhi's driving laws restrict driving to people based on their license plate. Even-numbered license plates can drive on some days, while only odd-numbered plates drive on others. This is to cut back on environmental pollution. Thus, the max potential of Uber availability in the area is affected.
