Uber’s use of dynamic pricing has led to higher fares for passengers and lower earnings for drivers, whilst increasing Uber’s share of revenue.

    i live in a really great location for getting onto a bunch of different highways. because of this, ubers circle the area because they are closer to more things. it shows you the ubers in the area, and I will see like 8 or 9 going in circles, waiting. so i select the “wait and save” option on the app, because it’s 3 dollars less and figure the wait won’t be long because demand is low and there are plenty of drivers. nope. it literally just enabled a timer that didn’t put my order through until it was over. it wasn’t giving me a deal for being flexible with my pickup time, it was CHARGING ME 3$ just to have the privilege of them not withholding my service order arbitrarily.

    fuck uber man that made me so mad
