All About the Two-Part Tariff

Hi everyone!

Last week I got an email from Uber with an offer to pay $40 so that I could get up to 20 Uperpool rides for $2 each.  In economics, this sort of pricing scheme is known as a two-part tariff, and of course I found it interesting that Uber was experimenting with pricing innovation.  As a result, I decided to give you an article that explains the mechanics of the two-art tariff both from the producer and the consumer perspective.  Hope you enjoy!

Cheers,
Jodi
