• There aren’t many people in the country who haven’t been annoyed and frustrated when using an app to book a cab.
• The prices have surged.
• Get ready to witness a fare that is practically the same as a one-way ticket.

There aren’t many people in this country who haven’t been annoyed and frustrated when using an app to book a cab and seeing the outrageous surge pricing. But have you ever seen a fare that is practically the same as a one-way ticket? Well, this actually occurred, and after you hear the entire tale, your mouth will drop.

The report includes a screenshot of the Uber app that was shared on Twitter by Shravankumar Suvarna. It turned out that Suvarna was merely attempting to reserve a cab from Dadar to her home at 7 o’clock. But the surge price indicated that the rider had to pay more than Rs 3,000 for service because of the persistent Mumbai rains. You did read that correctly.
