But weekly earnings for Uber drivers fell during this period while they worked longer hours \u2014 and customers are looking into cheaper ways to get around town.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just the price that\u2019s making customers reconsider.

We found that Washington, D.C. (106.5%) gets the best deal, with a half-hour ride ($33.33) costing a little over an hour\u2019s pay ($31.30).<\/p>\n<p>Like Indianapolis (above), D.C. has seen a rival to Uber spring up.

In turn, Empower\u2019s CEO argues that the company is not beholden to the DFHV as the company doesn\u2019t take a cut from each fare.

But that convenience comes at a price. Thankfully, there are ways to keep your fare down \u2014 try these tips to get a cheaper ride.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Try closing the app, waiting for two minutes, and reopening it. Travel blogger <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderingearl.com\/how-to-save-money-with-uber-quick-and-easy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wandering Earl<\/a> claims that this may reset automatic price surging, which could be tied to predefined periods rather than reacting to actual surges in demand.<\/li>\n<li>Consider using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uber.com\/us\/en\/ride\/uberx-share\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UberX Share<\/a> (formerly UberPool), a ride-pooling option within the app itself \u2014 although it does mean sharing your ride with strangers.<\/li>\n<li>If traveling with friends, set the Uber app to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uber.com\/za\/en\/ride\/how-it-works\/split-fare\/?uclick_id=06b13394-d54e-419b-9285-04a868385be1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">split your fare<\/a> automatically so you don\u2019t forget to exchange cash after the trip.<\/li>\n<li>If you can make your trip at a different time, avoid weekend evenings and peak weekday commuting hours to get around price surging.<\/li>\n<li>It can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/40482056\/this-calculator-tells-you-if-its-cheaper-to-use-uber-than-own-a-car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more economical<\/a> to use a combination of Uber and public transport than to own and run your own car, particularly if you live in the heart of the city. A few extra rideshare trips each month can easily be offset by selling your own vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The cost of disruption.<\/h2>\n<p>Rideshare apps are a true disruptor technology, changing how we get around and offering unprecedented convenience. But they have also disrupted the knowability fares, causing knock-on implications for household budgets.
