Unfortunately for Uber users this feature is not in use. In uber the price can change depending on the surge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-16984219122938234542017-01-02T19:30:51.168+08:002017-01-02T19:30:51.168+08:00Hi,
instead of having argument why Uber or Grab ...Hi, <br /><br />instead of having argument why Uber or Grab are expensives, then rather take a Taxi or Public transportation. Uber and Grab are expensive no matter what your opinions are. That is the price for comfort and secure transportation. If you take the public, then you know it already, I don`t want to mention it since you guys already have experience here in Metro. On the other Hand, the Taxis always denied if you want to travel i.e. makati to Quezon and always do some contract or extra Price, even though, they are not allowed to deny a Guest and if you report a Taxi driver to the operator or to the LFTRB then nothing happens. So keep Safe and pay more and no questions you will encountered. Have a Great dayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745838111955103324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-53631254542287070132016-12-28T21:58:15.856+08:002016-12-28T21:58:15.856+08:00If due to capping that more and more Uber drivers ...If due to capping that more and more Uber drivers will opt out of providing the service, then all current good Taxi drivers should gladly take their place instead.<br /><br />Come to think of it, is this extreme surge pricing applicable/implemented in Metro Manila only? I believe Tokyo and Singapore taxis have consistent standard pricing, irregardless.<br /><br />Now, looking at the upper range of the surge pricing, shouldn't it be called Uber Limousine Service instead? But I should expect the vehicle to be a real limousine and not an ordinary car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-64226764710694300712016-12-28T18:33:43.005+08:002016-12-28T18:33:43.005+08:00In my opinion, I would willingly pay a big amount ...In my opinion, I would willingly pay a big amount (Php 200-900) if the said service can bring me from one place to another in rush hour traffic as long as I am comfortable in the Uber/Grab vehicle and not having to care about the stress of driving my own car. I'd understand because I don't have a personal chauffeur, therefore if I'd like to travel comfortably, I should be willing to pay a hefty sum. HOWEVER, I need to be notified BEFORE I make the choice to cough up a lot of dough. I want to at least know that they're jacking up the prices. I'd like the app to tell me "HEY, traffic is bad so you'd have to pay up!" so I can at least weigh out my options.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-68281858495859389082016-12-27T23:50:14.809+08:002016-12-27T23:50:14.809+08:00I'm also a victim of that surge thing going on...I'm also a victim of that surge thing going on i was going back home to cubao near araneta center booked an uber at SM Megamall 856 PHP. Unlike before usually it costs around 170 pesos. Uber changed a lot like they're now fixed rates before it was meter type of charging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
