Uber's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, announced a new feature that allows drivers to see how much they can make from a trip before accepting it.
to see how much they could earn from a round trip and where they will drop the users off before they accept a ride request.
The company's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, announced last week that the app would introduce "upfront fares" so drivers can know how much they will be paid before the trip while introducing more "flexible" options that let drivers see requests in other areas. "With Upfront Fares, we’ve completely reimagined the way drivers accept rides," Khosrowshahi said in a statement. "Our new trip request screen makes it easier for drivers to decide if a trip is worth their time and effort by providing all the details—including exactly how much they’ll earn and where they’re going—upfront."
The factors that will be calculated into the total shown to drivers before they accept the trip will be based on, estimated time to complete the trip, distance from pickup, and price surges, according to Uber. Moreover, the fare will be adjusted in real-time if the rider changes their address or for increased traffic along the route.
