Uber has increased the rate of its economy option (UberX) by 13 percent in Lagos from today.
This was disclosed by the ride-hailing firm via e-mail sent to its drivers to educate them on the motive behind the hike.
It stated, “At Uber, we remain committed to providing a reliable earning opportunity for driver-partners, as well as a reliable and affordable service for riders. With this in mind, starting 11th May 2021, we are increasing prices on UberX by about 13%.”
The new billing structure will affect both peak and off-peak periods. It also reflects a time-based pricing that enables drivers to earn more at certain periods during the day.
