Check me on this, but doesn’t being charged $14,401.25 for a 5-mile Uber ride seem to be a bit much? Seems like a lot to me, but I haven’t used Uber in ages. Maybe their prices have gone up… A LOT. Because that’s what they charged some poor man in Toronto.
This unidentified Toronto man needed to make a quick trip across the city at a peak time during the day.
He was surely expecting to pay a bit more than normal due to it being a peak time, maybe $16, but $14,000-plus? Talk about your “surge pricing.”Actually, since this took place in Canada, the man was actually charged $18,518.50 in Canadian dollars. I guess someone has to pay for Uber putting in a better security system for their data, but damn.
Maybe the Uber driver just thought the passenger was another Buffalo Bills player. Toronto isn’t that far from there.
