Uber error results in 100 times more expensive trips

A small error in the Uber payment system made some users' travel costs significantly more than the original price. In fact, the increase was a hundredfold higher.
According to the Washington Post, one of the users received an account of $ 2,053, when the trip had cost only $ 20.53. Twitter reactions, of course, did not wait, and there was even more criticism of how Uber dealt with the situation, with affected users having trouble finding ways to contact the company.
The problems started in the US but there are cases reported in Europe and also in the food delivery service, Uber Eats. However, Uber acknowledged that the situation was "frustrating" and stated that a correction has been issued to address the problem. Miguel Dias
