I should say was...there are now testing flat pricing where they tell you the absolute price based on your destination, but you need to have an idea of how much the ride should be in order to know if it's surging or not.

I accepted the ride at $40 when I got to my home the receipt was for $80 because of their surge pricing. The whole thing makes no sense anyway why charge more when there is higher volume? Is there any extra service given is the driver doing any extra driving? You are getting exactly the same service as you would at any other time and traveling the same distance. Surge pricing is a scam to make more money.
In NYC most of the Uber drivers are x yellow taxi drivers who found they make more with Uber and anyone who has been in a NYC taxi knows that the way they drive you are risking your life getting to where you are going. So here in NYC Uber is just a yellow taxi with an app that charges more .
