Saving Money on Uber Rides: I wanted to take a trip of 14 miles. Because of heavy traffic in my city(Bangalore). It usually takes an hour. I punched in the source and destination Uber Pool shows a price of Rs.419 or $6.49 . I thought, What if I take two trips? The total now comes to $4.02. I can save $2. Well, did you take that trip? I had an uber pass. The special price was around $6 (I don’t have screenshots, The above screenshots was taken much later). I took two trips. The total cost was $3. I saved 50%. Why is this the case? I am not sure, but all I can say is this has something to do with Algorithms Uber use to calculate prices. Split your long trips into shorter once and you can save a lot.
