Zusammenfassung:Some embodiments are directed to a server component providing to a client device information which a traveler may use to determine when various ridesharing services have surge pricing in effect for a ride, enabling the traveler to mitigate the effect of surge pricing on the price of the ride. Some embodiments are directed to a server component causing one or more ridesharing services to be passively monitored, and automatically notifying a traveler when surge pricing for a ride is discontinued, so that a traveler need not check and re-check with the ridesharing service(s).
