Uber, the company that’s revolutionised the cab ride, has made some changes you might want to see.

They’ve just altered their UberX service, which offers rides in ordinary cars at lower prices than the company’s traditionally high-end town car service. Sixteen of their 24 UberX cities will benefit form the altered fares.

“We’re going all-in on being the cheapest ride in town,” Uber CEO Travis Kalanick wrote.

Under the new fare structure, rates in the Los Angeles area between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica would run $15,83 via UberX, compared with $26,80 for a cab, he said.

Fares for the normal Uber town car service won’t change at all. This news comes with a dose of controversy, as Uber has come under fire in recent months for its “surge pricing,” to manage demand for the service during high load times.

Sadly, this service is only available in 16 cities across America. Keen to get it to SA? Make a noise, people.
