$37 Uber into DC cost $150 on the way back. some sweet price gouging by them (400%) but it wasn't nearly as bad as some other cities i read about (up to 900% increases)

Surge pricing sucks. It's one of the few things that cab companies have an advantage on.

I took Uber home on NYD after watching football and the price was about the same. I live in a hick beach town, so...

the surge pricing only applied to nye when a billion people were looking for rides

SunMo · January 04, 2016, 09:24:58 AM

I wouldn't doubt that NYD wouldn't have been close to the same in any of the big cities. We took it at 1:30am when demand was high. I get the whole supply and demand thing and respect it to a certain point, but the numbers that Uber was using were gouging plain and simple.

i just calculated the trip back

they charged $5.88 a mile....lol jesus

I used Uber once in NYC over the summer. Was looking for a cab and he was parked on the street, so we hoped in. 6-8 blocks to our hotel and dude asked me for $25. Farging rip off.

you didn't do it right if it went as you described. you can get a fare estimate from Uber on the app before ordering a ride. sounds like this guy saw you looking for a cab and offered you a ride and you didn't go through the app? he took the money all for himself and didn't go through Uber. Uber is normally way cheaper than a cab

It's $20 by cab from the pub to my house and $10 using Uber.

Again, hick town but still. The gouging is really disgusting, though. Uber is supposed to be better than that. Shocking that it turns out they'd gladly stick it up your ass lubeless like any other cabbie.

ha yeah thats not how uber works dummy.

Sgt PSN · January 04, 2016, 12:20:07 PM

I know they are app based, which kind of threw me when dude was just chilling looking for a fare, but this dude had an Uber sticker/id photo so I rolled with it. Are Uber drivers not allowed to pick up fares outside of the app?
