> Travis is right on a technicality they did not lower Uber Black prices much if any. What they did instead was coerced Uber Black drivers to take Uber X request.

That seems like semantics to me. The pay was lowered.



Why are you both unaware that the rate itself was in fact lowered. Straight from the article:

> In 2012, Uber Black cost riders $4.90 per mile or $1.25 per minute in San Francisco, according to an old version of Uber's website. Today, Uber charges $3.75 per mile and $0.65 per minute.

Nip arguments in the bud, not at the leaf.


But there's no indication that this has anything to do with how much the driver receives. This number is how much Uber receives.

I like that attitude.
