The price surcharge will be in place for at least 60 days, Uber said, and the company will continue monitoring gas prices and consumer and driver sentiment.
The ride-sharing service announced Friday it's rolling out a fuel surcharge to help its drivers offset the burden of higher gas prices for at least the next two months.Starting Wednesday, users will pay an extra $0.45 or $0.55 per trip and an additional $0.35 or $0.45 for Uber Eats, depending on the location. Uber said all the money from the surcharges will go to the drivers.
"This raise helps keep the city's promise to keep app drivers out of poverty wages and on the path to a dignified and secure living," said Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance in a statement."We all know the price of basic needs, like bread and milk, have gone up, and, for drivers, so have operating costs, like fuel and repairs.
