Sadly, most people will see that article and just go bananas at the fact that someone paid 3x the controlled price for a ride, nevermind the fact that she probably would have had to wait hours to find a city taxi during a demand spike like that. A New Yorker's time is often worth far more than 192 dollars so this can be a tremendous waste with the public system.
