Your Next Uber ride will have an extra fee for gas – even if it’s in an EV (theverge.com) 10 points by crackercrews 4y ago ↗ HN
[–] crackercrews 4y ago ↗ > customers will pay a surcharge of either $0.45 or $0.55 on each Uber tripWhy is this a fixed fee instead of per mile? [–] lhorie 4y ago ↗ Easier to roll out, is my guess.
[–] Khelavaster 4y ago ↗ Obviously not an extra gas fee since it isn't even per-mile. Reeks of incompetence. [–] KyeRussell 4y ago ↗ I use Uber and UE a lot, and my partner’s done some UE work. In my experience, Uber’s decisions which kinda seem like incompetence end up looking more like highly calculated manipulations. [–] crackercrews 4y ago ↗ What calculated manipulation would lead to this policy?

[–] grapescheesee 4y ago ↗ Should have just made tiers and buckets per mile or time. At least for the ride share side.I have been using Uber_and UE daily for the last few months. My 40 min ride is not the same as my one mile food delivery.One is a car, the other is a moped. The uber eats side will come out far better off in terms of fee generation.Also, I do not see this going away. In fact I see the opposite happening.

I have been using Uber_and UE daily for the last few months. My 40 min ride is not the same as my one mile food delivery.
One is a car, the other is a moped. The uber eats side will come out far better off in terms of fee generation.
Also, I do not see this going away. In fact I see the opposite happening.
