A.4.4.4 Discussion-The Elasticity of Uber's Surge Pricing - Group B 2 Uber's flexibility to balance supply and demand is very high. Because it holds a sizable portion of the market, it can easily adjust its pricing to make sure that it is in line with demand. Since there aren't many other ride-sharing companies, Uber also doesn't have to worry about competing with them for customers. Elasticity is the measure of how much an economy's supply or production may alter in response to a shift in its price. If you want to buy a car and the cost of cars rises, people who want to sell their cars will be eager to do so at higher prices.
