Uber is looting the commuters
In the guise of “ surge ” charges
Uber is looting the commuters by charging exorbitantly and irrationally in the guise of “surge” charges. On the afternoon of 15th march 2016 at 03-38 pm, i have travelled from new bhoiguda to somajiguda. In the guise of “surge” charge, uber has charged me an amount of rs. 312 for travelling a distance of just 10.61 kilo metres that is @ rs. 29-40 per kilo metre.
When commuters open the uber application for booking of a cab, uber is compelling the commuters to accept higher charges (Surge). Uber had not clearly specified what is surge ? Generally during the odd timings, many transport service providers charge half (½) return i.E. 50% of the normal fare as extra. But, uber in the guise of surge, has charged rs. 176-58 extra on a normal fare of rs.135-83 that too in the afternoon at 03-38 pm !
I request the commuters to take a note of it and be aware while accepting surge charges. I request the concerned authorities to take necessary action against the cheating and looting by uber.

Hi Kunjal,
Happy to explain what happened here!
Since the previous trip is a cash trip and you chose to cancel it, we will be collecting the applicable cancellation fee of INR 60 only on your next trip. Since you completed the next trip after the cancellation, the total fare that you will paid includes the following,
Subsequent trip fare - INR 136
Previous trip’s cancellation fee - INR 60
You should have received two receipts for each of these payments that you will clear. Hope this answers your question.
If you have any further questions, please write back and I'll be happy to help!
Best,
Joy
