§ 2607. Rates and forms of compensation.

(a) Passenger receipt.--Upon completion of transportation under this chapter, each transportation network company shall transmit an electronic receipt to the passenger's e-mail address or account on a digital network documenting:

(1) The origination, destination, mileage and time estimated of the trip.

(2) The driver's first name.

(3) The total amount paid, if any.

(b) Tariff and fares.--A transportation network company shall file and maintain with the commission a tariff that sets forth the terms and conditions of service, including the basis for its fares and its policies regarding dynamic pricing. A transportation network company may offer transportation network service at no charge, suggest a donation or charge a fare. If a fare is charged, a transportation network company must disclose the fare calculation method prior to providing an arranged ride.

(c) Estimates.--The transportation network company must provide estimates upon request for the cost of a trip.

(d) Dynamic pricing.--A transportation network company shall provide notice to potential passengers prior to accepting a ride through its digital network any time dynamic pricing is in effect.

(e) Limitation.--When a state of disaster emergency is declared under 35 Pa.C.S. § 7301 (relating to general authority of Governor), a transportation network company that engages in dynamic pricing shall limit the multiplier by which its base rate is multiplied to the next highest multiple below the three highest multiples set on different days in the 60 days preceding the declaration of emergency. It shall be a violation of the act of October 31, 2006 (P.L.1210, No.133), known as the Price Gouging Act, for a transportation network company to charge a price that exceeds the limits of this subsection during a state of disaster emergency.

(f) Review.--The amount of a donation, charge, fare or other compensation provided or received for transportation network service shall not be subject to review or approval by the commission under Chapter 13 (relating to rates and distribution systems).
