EXPAND. Uber, as seen by uber.com. Launched in Denver: August 2012 Fleet size: Several hundred Color scheme: Variable Phone number: None Smart phone app: Uber Meter rate: $2.14 base fare plus $0.19 per minute and $1.57 per mile for uberX rides; $7 base fare plus $0.30 per minute and 3.05 per mile for UberBLACK rides.
There is a base rate, a charge per mile and a charge per minute. It looks like the pricing structure you know well from all the miles you have logged in cabs. But Uber's pricing is actually a little deceiving. Taxis charge riders per mile when moving, and per minute when idling. Uber chargers riders per mile AND minute whether they're moving or idling (except in Philadelphia, where Uber charges per minute only when your speed drops below 11 MPH). Even so, Uber rates do beat cab fares in most cities.
