Wait, a three-mile ride cost WHAT?!
, we have Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who was stunned to learn how much it costs to take a three-mile ride in New York City using his company's app., Khosrowshahi was veritably stunned when the reporter questioning him asked if he knew how much a ride in the Big Apple costs.
"I traveled 2.95 miles in an Uber to get here today," the reporter, Steven Levy, asked the CEO. "What do you think it cost?" "Twenty bucks," the CEO responded — and followed it up with an "Oh my god" and a "Wow" when the journalist told him he paid around $50 — and that when he'd first searched fares five minutes prior, it was $20Khosrowshahi claimed the price increase was due to "surge pricing," but Levy didn't let him off the hook.
"A surge makes no sense," the reporter quipped back. "It’s 10 am on a sunny weekday, and it’s not like the president’s in town."As the back-and-forth continued, the journalist got Khosrowshahi to admit the reason for ever-increasing Uber prices: inflation,"Do you worry that those who adopted the service because of attractive pricing might be rethinking their ridership?" Levy continued."Everything is more expensive," Khosrowshahi responded.
