Marketplace's \u003ca href=\"http://www.marketplace.org/2016/04/18/world/removed-flight\" target=\"_blank\">Tony Wagner\u003c/a> reached a similar dead-end with Southwest and five other major airlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi says he believes his use of a simple Arabic phrase -- \"Inshallah\" -- got him kicked off his flight. It means \"if God wills\" and serves a function roughly equivalent to \"knock on wood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you've grown up in an Arabic-speaking, predominantly Muslim country, as Makhzoomi did -- he's an Iraqi refugee -- chances are the phrase is tossed around your home quite frequently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps if Makhzoomi had said “knock on wood,” he would have flown out of Los Angeles without incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, in an Arabic phone conversation with his uncle before his plane took off, Makhzoomi told him “inshallah,\" he would call him as soon as he landed safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'They didn’t treat me as a human being.'\u003ccite>UC Berkeley student Khairuldeen Makhzoomi\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The fellow passenger overheard, and soon, Makhzoomi was sitting in a room being interrogated by the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At some point they thought I'm a terrorist,\" says Makhzoomi. \"When they asked me about my bag, when they searched me. They treated me as a terrorist, honestly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi says he was searched, patted down and sniffed by security dogs. He was repeatedly asked if he had additional luggage, if he carried a knife, and if he could share \"everything he knew about martyrdom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi says he was upset by the distrust and disrespect he experienced right from the get-go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you took me out, and you spoke with me in a very nice tone, in a very respectful tone, asking me about myself, just saying, 'This is just a security procedure. ... Would you like to tell me about yourself, and what's your name, and what you do, and what you study?'

Marketplace's \u003ca href=\"http://www.marketplace.org/2016/04/18/world/removed-flight\" target=\"_blank\">Tony Wagner\u003c/a> reached a similar dead-end with Southwest and five other major airlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi says he believes his use of a simple Arabic phrase -- \"Inshallah\" -- got him kicked off his flight. It means \"if God wills\" and serves a function roughly equivalent to \"knock on wood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you've grown up in an Arabic-speaking, predominantly Muslim country, as Makhzoomi did -- he's an Iraqi refugee -- chances are the phrase is tossed around your home quite frequently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps if Makhzoomi had said “knock on wood,” he would have flown out of Los Angeles without incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, in an Arabic phone conversation with his uncle before his plane took off, Makhzoomi told him “inshallah,\" he would call him as soon as he landed safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'They didn’t treat me as a human being.'\u003ccite>UC Berkeley student Khairuldeen Makhzoomi\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The fellow passenger overheard, and soon, Makhzoomi was sitting in a room being interrogated by the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At some point they thought I'm a terrorist,\" says Makhzoomi. \"When they asked me about my bag, when they searched me. They treated me as a terrorist, honestly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi says he was searched, patted down and sniffed by security dogs. He was repeatedly asked if he had additional luggage, if he carried a knife, and if he could share \"everything he knew about martyrdom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi says he was upset by the distrust and disrespect he experienced right from the get-go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you took me out, and you spoke with me in a very nice tone, in a very respectful tone, asking me about myself, just saying, 'This is just a security procedure. ... Would you like to tell me about yourself, and what's your name, and what you do, and what you study?'

Whatever the reason, surge pricing is not fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those price spikes are there for a reason: to persuade more drivers to get in their cars at times of peak demand and pick up riders. But Uber says it's working on something that could end surge pricing. The move likely will be great for riders, but not for drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hunting for the Surge\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many on-demand drivers plan their days around surge rates; Nathan Sapp is one of them. He's sitting in his garage in Columbus, Indiana, a little after midnight, \"trying not to wake up the family,\" he says. His wife and three kids are asleep, but he just got back home from driving for Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sapp showed NPR pay stubs for a recent three-month period. On average, he is in his car and logged into his Uber app — either driving passengers or waiting to get one — 42.4 hours per week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many drivers, he's got a system in place for finding surges: He talks to fraternity and sorority members at the campus of Indiana University, over in Bloomington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I definitely keep up with the news regarding events in town,\" he says. \"They could be business meetings, conventions. They could be specific sporting events.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/476513775/476559549\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surge is Uber's solution when passenger demand outstrips driver supply: Inform customers that their ride is going to cost more — maybe way more — then pick up those who agree and accept the loss of the ones who don't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers want surge pricing, though the system for getting it isn't foolproof. Sapp doesn't know in advance where any one fare will take him. He recalls one time he planned his day around a big Bernie Sanders event, \"but not 20 minutes prior to the start of the speech, I got a trip that took me 60 miles away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ended up working in a completely different, slower city that night. To be clear, though, Sapp isn't complaining. He knows unpredictable trips are part of the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the three months of stubs he provided, surge fares were about a quarter of his total take-home pay, boosting his income by nearly $700 a month. That's money to fix his car, pay insurance, take the family out. A day at the museum, for example, costs $100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That might not be a lot of money to some people, but for us $100 is $100,\" Sapp says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber driver David Thrasher, who works primarily in Atlanta, puts it more bluntly: \"Surge is absolutely make or break. If there was no surge, ever, I wouldn't be able to afford doing this at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thrasher also showed NPR months of pay stubs. When there's not much surge fare, he makes about $11 an hour. When he gets many surge rides, his weekly earnings go up to more like $16 or $17 an hour, on average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's pretty good,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Automate It\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While drivers see surge as a key feature of the job — and Uber advertises it as such to them — inside the company surge pricing is considered a market failure, a problem to be solved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's where machine learning comes in. That's where the next generation comes in,\" says Jeff Schneider, engineering lead at \u003ca href=\"https://www.uberatc.com/\">Uber Advanced Technologies Center\u003c/a>. \"Because now we can look at all this data, and we can start to make predictions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schneider grants an onstage interview at a Silicon Valley insider conference called \u003ca href=\"http://www.structuredata.com/data-2016/schedule/\">Structure Data\u003c/a>. It is a well-known fact that, in the long term, Uber is working on self-driving cars with no need for human drivers. In the shorter term, killing surge rates is at the top of Schneider's list of priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think of it this way: When a Beyoncé concert lets out, it's a no-brainer that there's a ton of demand. Drivers know that. What's harder, Schneider explains, \"is to find those Tuesday nights when it's not even raining and for some reason there's demand — and to know that's coming. That's machine learning.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With enough of the right data inputs, computer algorithms can do the research that driver Nathan Sapp already does — only better, \"so the surge pricing never even has to happen,\" Schneider says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers would be informed of the extra demand. \"And I think that's one of the really cool things that machine learning's doing for Uber right now,\" Schneider says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By \"right now,\" he means he's on it. UberEATS, the company's food delivery service, is already using machine learning to anticipate how many people will call for lunch in a given area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber hasn't released an exact timeline for the end of surge, and it's not clear if the company plans to make an announcement or just phase it out so that riders lose the unpleasant 400 percent price increase without ticking off drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wage Fluctuations the Norm\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sapp can't say he's surprised when I break the news to him, given the company's nonstop recruitment efforts. More drivers mean less surge pricing brought on by excess demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I get what seems like five to 10 notices every week to invite my friends and family to drive for Uber,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is competitive because of price: On average, Uber rides are about two-thirds the cost of a taxicab ride, according to data compiled by Certify. And there's a culture — a norm — of changing the rates for drivers regularly. Sapp says he gets a notice every few months telling him the new rates in his area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no conversation about it,\" he says. \"The end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/04/22/475228363/uber-settles-2-lawsuits-over-whether-drivers-are-employees-or-contractors\">recent class-action settlement\u003c/a>, Uber plans to start letting drivers collect tips. It could be that the income lost from surge is replaced by passengers voluntarily giving a bit more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thrasher says it'll take more than tips — that the company will need to raise the base fare for drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they took away surge and kept the base fare as it is, nobody could survive doing it,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Editor's Note:\u003c/strong> Since this story ran, media outlets including \u003ca href=\"http://www.marketwatch.com/story/uber-isnt-killing-surge-pricing-2016-05-03#:rbu8j8FhDpV64Q\" target=\"_blank\">MarketWatch\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/03/uber-denies-plans-to-kill-surge-pricing-in-us/?ncid=rss\" target=\"_blank\">TechCrunch\u003c/a> have raised questions about its accuracy, citing a statement from Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR's reporting is based on an on-the-record public conversation with Jeff Schneider, a leading technologist at the Uber Advanced Technology Center.

They would tighten vehicle inspection requirements and mandate proof of commercial liability insurance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules, approved on a 4-1 vote, give the CPUC's blessing to fare-splitting, allowing passengers who take ride services like UberPool and Lyft Line to share the cost of a trip to a common destination. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was this regulation, in particular, that sparked the only no vote on the new rules, with Commissioner Mike Florio questioning whether it's legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we'll have a lot of trouble justifying it in court,\" Florio told commissioners, calling the proposal \"a creative interpretation.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the Legislature has determined \"that an individual fare is an individual fare and we cannot go with this approach.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But CPUC President Michael Picker said while the regulation may need further legal analysis, the commission needed to adopt a policy even though \"we're left not completely sure.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft report that more than half of their rides in San Francisco are for their carpooling services. Regulators are requiring ride service companies to report within 60 days on how the services are affecting traffic injuries and impacting the environment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Commissioner Carla Peterman's request, the CPUC voted to continue studying the issue of whether Uber and Lyft drivers should be allowed to lease vehicles, and for how long. At question is the definition of a personal vehicle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposal, drivers would have been able to lease vehicles, but only for periods longer than four months. Commissioner Liane Randolph explained that the proposal was meant, in part, to ensure proper vehicle inspections and that drivers' vehicles met all regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Uber officials said the regulation wouldn't affect its long-term leasing program, XChange, it would have barred the company's short-term rentals through Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The rule would also have blocked Lyft's two short-term leasing programs, with General Motors and Evercar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some drivers testified at the meeting Thursday that the short-term rentals have been crucial at times when they weren't able to use their own vehicles or couldn't afford one. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterman said the CPUC received \"thousands of emails\" about the regulation -- many of them \"robo emails,\" she said -- but also hundreds of personal emails that were \"almost evenly split\" on whether to change the definition of personal vehicles to allow leased vehicles. Uber sent an email to drivers encouraging them to send messages opposing the regulation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the companies have tried to assure regulators that leased vehicles would be properly inspected and meet regulations, Peterman said: \"I don't feel that we have the assurances that that is true for everyone, nor necessarily the guidance to be clear about what the best practice is.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission plans to study the issue some more and make a decision in its next round of regulations. Both Uber and Lyft officials were pleased with the postponement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These programs help people quickly and easily become a rideshare driver as a flexible way to make ends meet, and also help the state meet its environmental goals,\" said Lyft spokeswoman Chelsea Wilson. \"We look forward to continuing to work with the commission to ensure that modern transportation options like ridesharing can grow across the state.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CPUC officials also plan to consider in the next phase of regulations \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/26/california-to-reconsider-fingerprint-checks-for-uber-lyft-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">whether to require fingerprint background checks\u003c/a> for drivers. Commissioner Liane Randolph \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/03/25/state-regulators-deny-l-a-s-request-to-fingerprint-uber-lyft-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">recently declined a request\u003c/a> from Los Angeles officials to do a pilot fingerprint background check for ride service drivers operating in the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, L.A. City Councilman Paul Krekorian sent a letter to the commission urging it to act quickly on the issue and reconsider the city's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No doubt, the commission will face tremendous pressure to omit fingerprint-based background checks again, or to further delay action on this important passenger and public safety concern,\" he wrote. \"Any such delay will only serve to increase the known risk to the public.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Uber and Lyft oppose fingerprint background checks and say their own checks are sufficient to screen drivers. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Both Uber and Lyft officials were pleased with the postponement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These programs help people quickly and easily become a rideshare driver as a flexible way to make ends meet, and also help the state meet its environmental goals,\" said Lyft spokeswoman Chelsea Wilson. \"We look forward to continuing to work with the commission to ensure that modern transportation options like ridesharing can grow across the state.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CPUC officials also plan to consider in the next phase of regulations \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/26/california-to-reconsider-fingerprint-checks-for-uber-lyft-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">whether to require fingerprint background checks\u003c/a> for drivers. Commissioner Liane Randolph \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/03/25/state-regulators-deny-l-a-s-request-to-fingerprint-uber-lyft-drivers\" target=\"_blank\">recently declined a request\u003c/a> from Los Angeles officials to do a pilot fingerprint background check for ride service drivers operating in the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, L.A. City Councilman Paul Krekorian sent a letter to the commission urging it to act quickly on the issue and reconsider the city's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No doubt, the commission will face tremendous pressure to omit fingerprint-based background checks again, or to further delay action on this important passenger and public safety concern,\" he wrote. \"Any such delay will only serve to increase the known risk to the public.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Uber and Lyft oppose fingerprint background checks and say their own checks are sufficient to screen drivers. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
