Oh, Uber, it seems that you just can stay away from making some rather negative headlines.
The odd thing was that Uber didn’t want to refund its money to the passenger, until a user posted the passenger’s bill and it of course went viral. And — well, we all know what happens when things go viral. Uber then refunded the money. But what’s really strange, is that a five-mile ride ended up costing that much.
Anyway, this should probably serve as a warning for you to keep an eye onyour bill so you don’t get overcharged while riding Uber to one of the following events. —Juan Betancourt
