Uber CEO stunned by $52 fare charged for 3-mile ride in NYC: ‘Wow!’

Uber’s loathed surge pricing left even its own CEO with sticker shock.

A journalist who took an Uber from downtown Manhattan to interview the company’s boss Dara Khosrowshahi on the West Side paid $51.69, including the driver’s tip, for the 2.95-mile trip.

“Oh my God. Wow,” Khosrowshahi exclaimed when he was shown the eye-popping fare by Wired editor-at-large of Steven Levy, who revealed their conversation Tuesday.
