The Uber app’s latest version is not being tested as per reports from The Verge. For customers, this can mean good as well as bad news. If you look at things in a positive aspect, the customer’s will get to know upfront the fixed fare amount that would be charged to them, this would be very specific based on the inputs of their destination. On the other hand however, it will not be obvious as to when the effect of surge‐pricing is said to take place.

In the home screen, there is a lightning bolt icon as well as a box that will pop up which will used to notify the riders about their increased fare prices, now that has been taken out. The prominent warning pertaining to surge‐price is said to be replaced by a text which faintly notes that in regards to the Uber services, there is an increased demand.

Presently, 6 U.S. Cities have been approached by Uber for conducting the testing phase; and there are also a few Indian cities which are part of it and responded well. This new approach can be seen in cities like Seattle, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Miami, New York City and in New Jersey there are a few parts that are included. The company has full confidence that the new change would be liked by customers also. In a couple of months, a Global approach can be expected by the company. In March, the family profile feature had been introduced by the company. With the use of one single card within the family, this feature can help you to know the usage of the card as well as how much will be billed to the family.
