’Another way to squeeze more money?’: Uber Pets charges 5 times more than regular cabs; woman’s post sparks debate
Live MintUber recently introduced Uber Pets, a new feature that allows passengers to bring their pets along on rides. A standard ride cost ₹100, while Uber Pets was priced at a shocking ₹530, more than five times higher. Don’t think people would choose this over their own vehicle or a better option.” Another user pointed out that they had travelled with their cat in Uber rides back in 2021-22 without availing any special service. She also questioned whether it was just another way to “squeeze more money out of pet owners”. One sarcastic commenter remarked, “I guess the phrase ‘Modern Problems Need Modern Solutions’ doesn’t apply here.” The discussion highlights a broader issue—whether Uber’s move is truly about accessibility or just another way to capitalize on pet owners’ needs.
