•Uber's new payment model raising concerns
77% Informative
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.
