Uber introduced upfront fares, a new payment model that allows drivers to see the destination and how much they’ll earn before they accept a trip on the rideshare app.

The new model came into effect October 8 across Ontario but Uber has been using the upfront pricing system in the U.S. since 2022 .

Uber tells CityNews that since the implementation of the new model, payments have remained consistent across the province.
