rush hour rates
Commute-time charges
Rush hour rates are higher prices charged during peak travel or usage times.
Public transit, ride-sharing services, and toll roads often implement rush hour rates to manage demand when commuters flood the system: Uber's rush hour rates nearly doubled my usual fare.
The term extends to utilities and other services that charge more during high-demand periods.
