documented incidents happened to passengers. Many local managers of Uber were arrested in
different countries. But after all these types of oppositions the governments failed to stop Uber
as its major operations done by using internet virtually. They are facing law suits from different
organizations. Documents were leaked in which Uber was found guilty of using its employees for
using unfair means to keep the competitors at low profit. They apologized for this later.
Pricing and payment systemof Uber is like metered taxi service. They charge on base of speed or
time consumed. All payments made by using credit card and it is billed after completion of
journey. Cash payment to driver was a pilot project in India which lead to failure so they
collaborated with Airtel and allowed user to use their mobile wallet to pay for ride. According to
Uber their prices are premium because they provide secure, Reliable and Punctual ride at door
steps of users. They also introduced Surge pricing which use an automated algorithm to increase
prices according to demand and supply. When demand is high like events and special occasions
the prices got higher for ride. Company wanted to get patent for Surge pricing in 2013 but failed
due to obviousness.
Uber has also review system for users. The person who used to get a ride using Uber is able to
give a review about travel. It helps to make the systemreliable for first timers as they can see the
reviews of other people about Uber.
There are some special requirements for Uber drivers as they need to be Healthy, having
appropriate age and license. They also need to have smart phone called device and a vehicle for
sure.
