This is a funny thread because Uber at least has started doing both these things. Uber will show a message saying you won't see the fare until there's a ride.

This is a funny thread because Uber at least has started doing both these things. Uber will show a message saying you won't see the fare until there's a ride. Their FAQ claims it can happen if you hail faster than they can calculate a price, but it happens awfully often to me. I've also noticed their scheduled rides are really unreliable. They seem to start searching way too late, and I've almost missed a flight over them not finding an available car in Miami of all cities...
