Ride-sharing company Uber has issued a lengthy apology after introducing surge pricing during the Sydney siege, with the cost to leave the city skyrocketing to four times the normal fare.
An 18-year-old made it into Uber's systems. Uber is currently responding to the incident.
It used the “kill switch” to stop law enforcement from cracking down on the company in Europe.
Uber is really trying to branch out when it comes to different services.
Sadly price gouging happens in all industry. Hopefully some official regulations will stop this practice.
