I was riding Uber yesterday with a colleague. I requested a ride from Manhattan to town1 in westchester, up front pricing was $200 (huge surge because train was suspended), when we arrived town1, I changed the destination to town2 (where my colleague lives), which is less than 5 miles away from town1. When the trip ends, total fare we paid was $350...
Now I understand when pax change destination, upfront pricing basically hold no more, and the trip is charged by time and distance, probably with the surge rate at the time of initial ride request applied? What I should have done is let the 1st portion of the ride finish and re-request a new trip? And when this happen, what does uber pay driver? I imagine not a fraction of the upfront pricing anymore but a fraction of the time/distance based fare?
