It's interesting that you call Uber 'surging' but cabbies doing the same 'scamming'. I understand what you're saying but they are quite comparable..

because taxi drivers cannot, at least where i live, by law, change their fare. uber/lyft told me (and i agreed by using their service) they would change the fare based on demand.

So, as long as they use the proper terminology, you're fine with being scammed.
