I don&#x27;t think you can dismiss UX attempts to discourage checking the total fare estimate as &quot;being bad at math&quot;.  Yes, someone can work out the logical implications of various alerts, but no, human psychology doesn&#x27;t always do this quickly or in a way that reaches a reflective equilibrium.<p>With that said, this is Uber SUV, with a $14 base fare[1], during a confirmed 4.4x surge, which really should alert the user to get an estimate.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uber.com&#x2F;cities&#x2F;washington-dc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uber.com&#x2F;cities&#x2F;washington-dc</a>
