Uber Surge Pricing Will Likely Make A Comeback In Australia
Uber is a private car service you can book via your smartphone, and it’s pretty damn special. It only costs around 15 to 20 per cent more than the average cab, and it’s worth it for that extra bit of luxury. The only problem is when there aren’t enough cars to go round during big events like New Year’s Eve or during wild weather, because that’s when “surge pricing” is engaged, making the service über expensive. Uber Australia has just told users that they should expect surge pricing to continue during big events.

Uber Sydney Review: The Car Service Of The Future Is Not Without Issues
I hate cabs. Hate them. I’m a Sydney-sider and when I get into a cab, it’s because I have no other option. If I can, I walk or catch the train.

We tested Uber and found out that some pretty serious unanswered questions lie beneath the surface. Update: Uber has officially launched in Sydney.
Sydney Travel Gets Classy As Uber Launches In Australia
There are a swathe of apps you can use around the country to order a cab to wherever you want to go. The problem with those is that once you get in, it’s still the same, old taxi experience. Transport start-up, Uber, launched the US last year, and the concept is perfect: order a private, luxury car to where you are via an app, relax on your journey, and get out knowing that the journey has already been charged to your credit card. Sounds awesome, right? Well the good news here is that Uber has just opened for business in Australia.
