Time to bring back uber in NEWS!

Well, it hasn't been long since uber was in news for delhi rape case.

The current incident has left me wondering if its ill practice on part of uber or it's driver. 
yesterday (June 21st, 2016), a friend of mine booked uber for his friends for a humble distance of 3.74 kms. Considering late night he was obviously charged 1.6x surge over actual fare, no complains, as this is mentioned while booking itself and the receipt too contains this surge.  

Here are receipts he got on mail and app.




No complains for this part, but what followed left me and my friend dazzled. The driver asked for twice the amount stating a red zone booking. Okay! a first, but if it is a norm why wasn't it shown while booking. Also, if its a red zone booking is it in addition to 1.6x surge? Also, if doubling the fare for red zone is part of uber policy, why didn't it show up on the receipt. You hand us proper receipt and we'll willingly pay the stated amount. This leaves us with two questions, is uber trying to evade taxes by not showing entire amount on its receipts? Or, was it one off incident where it's driver stole money stating some shitty reasons. 

    Below, is a recording of our conversation with the driver. 

       

toh bhaiya red zone me chal raha tha toh receipt pe kyu nai aaya, drivers apne mood se red zone ka charge karenge kya!! 


WELL, UBER AND ITS INFAMOUS DRIVERS! 

Give us a reason why should we recommend uber to any acquaintances. Or, why should not we take the matter to consumer courts.

And, if uber is not at fault and it was ill practice on part of driver, we believe uber will take strict action against the driver and cancel his registration.
