It says the algorithm is based on time and distance. Was there more traffic? Is it possible that the up front pricing algorithm knew that the time portion of the trip would be more than usual and charged more because of that?
- therideshareguy 9y agoWe tested all different times and traffic levels but in general, Uber's algorithm is terrible at predicting traffic since they use their own internal maps system (as opposed to gmaps or waze).

I usually get an estimated arrival time right after booking and that's generally correct on the few Uber trips I've taken. How different was your estimated arrival time and your actual arrival time?
