We got charged $130 for a ride that was only 6 blocks away but ended up taking 15 minutes during surge pricing in Los Angeles. Ever since that experience, I've switched to Lyft and been pretty happy with them so far.
Why would anyone call an Uber for 6 blocks? Honest question. That's about 1/3 to 1/2 a mile!!
Even if you'd paid half or a quarter of that, wouldn't you say that's a bit much for six blocks?
