1. Road construction is going on Riccarton Road. 100 Uber drivers want to drop their passengers at the airport. Each driver is deciding whether to take Riccarton Road or take Blenheim Road. The cost of travelling through Riccarton Road is $10 (additional fuel required due to slow traffic), while the Blenheim Road route has a low fuel cost (theoretically let's assume $0) but takes more time to reach the airport. In deciding on a route, each driver cares only about income, denoted i, and his travel time, denoted t (where we have made the dollar value of one unit of travel time equal to 1). Driver's payoff is assumed to be his/ her profit (income - cost of travelling, including travel time). Assume that each driver has same income of $500.
