New Yorkers FURIOUS Over UBER SURGE PRICING During NYC Bombing

Uber riders took to social media to show their collective disgust after ride-sharing service, Uber, implemented “surge pricing” during the Manhattan bombing that left one dead and dozens injured.

Uber reportedly charged between 1.4 and 3 times the standard fare with one city worker saying he had to pay twice as much as usual.

“COME ON @Uber ???? 1.8 surge pricing after explosion in #Chelsea? I’m disgusted. People are trying to get home safe. Shame on you #DeleteApp” — Jessica Keenan Wynn (@JessicaKWynn)

This is true. My family and I were out in Manhattan and many of our train lines were closed. Uber prices surged up. https://t.co/BjbsWeT1Vy
