As we're all anxious about how much it costs to fill your vehicle's gas tank, many people who make their living in the rideshare industry are keeping an even closer eye on pump prices.
That's why Uber has decided to help out its drivers by imposing a temporary fuel surcharge for consumers on each ride and delivery.
"We know drivers and delivery people are feeling the sting of higher prices at the pump, so we're rolling out a temporary fuel surcharge to help address record gas prices," said Laura Miller, head of policy and communications for Uber Canada, in a release. While the fee is only expected to remain in place for the service for 60 days, Miller says the amount charged on each ride could change.UBER ENCOURAGES DRIVERS TO GO ELECTRICpledged that its Canadian operations would reach zero emissions by 2040It plans to do that by offering consumers extra rewards points for every trip taken in an electric or hybrid vehicle.
