Uber doubled prices taxis after assessment

london - Those who booked a taxi via Uber in London on Saturday night immediately after the two attacks had to pay more than twice as much as usual. That's why the taxi driver came up with fierce reactions to social media, CNN reported.

The taxi driver has a dynamic pricing model, with the price rising automatically if demand for taxis increases in a particular area. After an assessment, Uber usually expires this surcharge. That's happening now, too late, critics put on Twitter. According to Uber, the surcharge in the immediate vicinity of the attacks was deployed at 23. 08 and in 0.40 hours the surcharge was canceled throughout central London.
