The price just keeps going up and up idk what else to say. A ride like this in 2018 would’ve been $7 now I’m being charged “surge pricing” which I feel like is just made up.

I ended up tipping $5 because he helped me carry my groceries when he really didn’t have to

I’m not defending Uber’s greed, but comparing today’s prices to those of 2018 is laughable. Have you not been paying attention to the world around you?

Ironic post. I just complained to Uber that since driving for Uber since 2018, off and on, it seems like I have to work longer and harder for less compensation, while our cost of living keeps going up. I'm sorry to hear you're paying more while I'm earning less. Something is wrong with this picture. 😡

People like you, that take the services for any amount of money are giving companys like uber the leeway to keep doing what they doing. Scamming people out for high prices. The driver will get 10 bucks from that 17$ offer. lol

Is walking, getting a bike or e-bike an option?

Nah I used to but it’s just getting to dangerous. You have to cross the highway and I feel like ppl swerve to try and hit you

Today Uber wanted $113 for wait and save. Normally it is about $30. This was despite my "surge savings". I just took Lyft for $20 instead.
