This is disclosed in https://www.uber.com/cities/new-york https://www.uber.com/cities/new-york: "$20 surcharge on all trips between NYC and New Jersey." It doesn't have anything to do with where the driver is from. It also appears to be included in the fare calculator there. (I can't be 100% sure because it doesn't break down the bill.)
The fee shouldn't be dependent on where the driver happens to be from, or you'd be rolling the dice on which driver you happened to get: it's fairer to have a consistent price.
- rdlecler1 12y agoOh yes, the fine print. Because we wouldn't want to know in advance that we'd be charged $20.00 for an $11.00 toll. So it's safe to assume that Uber charged the other passenger $20 going into Jersey, and then another $20 coming back. This makes me wonder if Uber pocketed the $20 collected as the driver went into Jersey or if it set aside some to cover the driver's cost if he had some come back as a deadhead.
