New minimum fare starting Thursday with UP

562 Views 19 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Superfreedomfighter
In most cities minimum fare has gone up around 20-30% with upfront pricing change

Some threads in different cities have said some of the minimum fares went up more than $1

If that were to happen in Vegas, we would finally cross the $5 mark for minimum fare on Uber X

Let’s hope it does happen. We will see on Thursday. Anyone who gets some non surge shorties on the strip, please report what you are getting as the seemingly new “minimum fare”

We can just check the rate card come Thursday.
im curious if the rate card looks significantly different pre vs post upfront pricing. Have yet to see anyone from those markets that already have it, post the new rate card for their market. Like will it still show amounts for base fare, time and distance, or will it all say “variable”? OR…are those lines eliminated from the new rate card completely?

Like you mentioned, I guess we will find out come Thursday

Yes. You won't have one.
Thank you. I didn’t see anyone post about a new rate card so I wasn’t sure. It’s basically gonna be a black box pay model like food delivery now
I’m just imagining for myself a extra 5 to 10 minutes of waiting for those rides that work out mathematically . 10 minutes waiting per ride x 6 is an extra hour of work.
Or, you could also run Lyft at the same time to cut down on down time

Only on Uber so far but that’s subject to change quickly.
Sign up for Lyft. That way you have 2 different platforms to use. See which one is offering better surge or if Lyft has a streak bonus hour active. Use the best one then log off after each ride. Check both again and use the best one of the two. Rinse and repeat.
