There’s no doubt that prices of cabs surge during peak hours or when in high demand. However, can you imagine paying a whopping ₹3000 for a 50-kilometre ride? Well, I know what you are thinking but this actually happened to somebody.
Shravankumar Suvarna, a Mumbai resident, tried booking a cab to his home, which usually costs ₹800 to ₹1,000. However, he was shocked to see the fare for the short ride running into thousands.
The Uber application showed him the fare for UberGo at ₹3,041, Premier at ₹4,081 and XL at ₹5,159.

With this money, you can stay at a good hotel in Dadar for the night, have a hearty dinner and then have a good night sleep. Wake up in the morning and then go to home. You will have those under ₹2500 and still have ₹500-1000 left to spend. 🥹🥹 https://t.co/Pi6ROfBuaN
