Summary
A new Consumer Reports investigation reveals Uber and Lyft are using hidden AI algorithms to wildly vary ride prices—even for identical trips at the same time. In one test, 55 riders saw 29 different fares for the same trip. The report also found nearly 11% of advertised discounts appear inflated or misleading. While Uber and Lyft claim prices aren’t personalized and discounts reflect historical rates, critics demand transparency so riders can trust what they see—and know they’re being fairly treated.
