nothing like paying 5x the price when you need a ride.

I mean I've had this happen a handful of times anywhere

And you know what, I don't mind it at all for how often I use uber. The total price per ride is still lower

but the most important thing is that I can get a ride from the bar to where I need to go

they have surge pricing out the arse now. weekend nights are ridiculous now. you used to be able to somewhat get around the surge pricing by ordering the uber select car, but they fixed that. set surge pricing across the board now.

I used it several times on Friday and Saturday this past weekend, and never paid more than 1.5x in surge pricing. I didn't have 1 ride over $12
