>There have been reports that Uber has an internal website only for drivers that advertises "More surge pricing than Lyft, etc if you switch to us!" or something along those lines.

But Uber recruited new drivers for UberX, and then intentionally prevented them from driving on Valentine's day so that surge pricing would come into effect.
