The ride-sharing company Uber says it has "reimagined the way drivers accept rides" with a feature called "upfront fares" which shows drivers how much they will be paid and where they will be dropped off after dropping off a passenger. According to the company's announcement on Friday, the change is part of its efforts to make driving for the rideshare service more flexible. Additionally, Uber is planning to add a feature that will let drivers see other ride requests in their area, allowing them to choose specific trips. Riders may find that the changes tested in select areas will result in fewer canceled trips due to a driver's reluctance to go to a destination or the realization that it won't be a perfect trip. Drivers are shown the amount before accepting a trip based on many factors, which includes base fares, duration, pickup distance, estimated travel distance, and surge pricing." The document notes that if the rider changes the drop-off address or if there's "unexpected traffic" along the route, the fare will be adjusted accordingly. As well as not including wait times or tips, the number does not include things like tips. Uber

The documents warn of the change to forthright fares, set to carry out to a large portion of the US throughout the next few months. So, it could imply that a few sorts of excursions procure drivers less. As specific illustrations, it records long and generally quick trips and trips to high-demand areas. However, it likewise says that the new framework will mean drivers procure more on brief excursions, trips with bunches of traffic, trips where they end up in a space with fewer riders, or outings where they need to travel far before getting to the rider. Uber says it will roll out a trip radar, giving drivers a list of nearby ride requests and upfront fares. They can choose the trips they want from the list, and Uber will hire them if it's a good match. Likewise, Uber says drivers will still receive individual ride requests, but they can use trip radar to find another trip that might work better for them.
