13177 Supersonic November 30, 2016 Share November 30, 2016 I keep hearing feedback from friends now that Uber can be more expensive than cab during the peak hours. Uber now doesn't show the surge charges. The pricing show already included the surcharge liao, so if you have been taking uber or taxi regularly, more or less you should know if the pricing is expensive or not. Lol. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber now doesn't show the surge charges. I only stop using Uber since November. I still get surge factor like x 1.5. Uber can be cheaper than cab during peak especially from CBD. Not forgetting that cab got SMLJ surcharge le. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol It is a willing buyer willing seller. She can always wait for the rain to stop and call cab. On rainy morning, can she get a cab? If can't, don't KPKB. $$$ is a good motivator for ppl to work.

ins1dious Turbocharged December 21, 2016 Share December 21, 2016 I don't know about how expensive they are... but Uber as a company (around the world) and how they disregard rules, regulations, etc... is starting to bug me... Their views on minimum pay their stupid app now requiring me to accept location service even after I quit the app, their fcked up attitude to autonomous driving legislation... they refuse to buy a 150$ license because that will also require them to keep records of any incidents... so they gave the finger to Cali municipality and said they don't believe they need to adhere to that license. They do things even to the detriment of safety... where one of their autonomous cars ran through a red light and they said... "my bad"... and some of the newer kids driving for Uber here in SG haven't filled me with great confidence. Not to say that Grab is better... but I'd rather my dollars goes to a "local / SE Asian" company than some fcking yanks and lawyers in California. So Uber app deleted from phone. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic December 22, 2016 Share December 22, 2016 i see it as a musical chair game.... for the passengers, enjoy the music while it last.... for dedicated uber drivers and staff, enjoy the game and reap the maximum income while it last for the investors, build up the hype and exit before the music suddenly stops for the owners.....they are the only ones who know when they going to stop the music. actually.. uber concept is brilliant.. think abt it.. which gahmen dare to stop them when its giving people employment?
