Uber Hikes Fare Across the Country

In the face of rising fuel prices and an unusual spike in the country's inflation rate, Uber India has unveiled a series of initiatives targeted at making drivers happy. Increased rates across the country, a better payment schedule, and showing drivers the destination before accepting the ride are among the new measures aimed at drivers.

Petrol and diesel costs are at an all-time high, and Uber drivers have been protesting and urging Uber to raise charges in response. While Uber had previously begun raising costs in some areas of the country, it has now confirmed that all fares have been raised.

According to reports, fares have been raised by almost 15%. While this would please the drivers, it will be a shock to clients who are already concerned about rising food prices. The destination is one of the most common inquiries a driver will ask you when you hire a cab or car. The driver cancels the journey or asks the consumer to cancel the ride if they do not like the destination in an increasing number of cases.

To address this, Uber has announced that before accepting a ride, drivers would be shown the destination. Both drivers and customers will be pleased with this. This will only be accessible to drivers who meet a specified trip acceptance threshold, so drivers who frequently refuse trips may not see the destination address.
