Is it just me, or did Uber significantly cut the discount for premium rides from the old “Uber Pass” and rebrand it as “Uber One?” I used to get 15% off Uber Black and now it’s only 5%?

I thought it was always 5% but I also really only ever took regular ubers. The funnier point is that Uber can surcharge almost at will so the whole idea of this pass seems made up haha over exaggerating a little bit still!

I more or less exclusively do Uber Black in my hometown (NYC) and wherever it’s available, and go for anything above basic UberX whenever else I can (I’ve had some horror stories with UberX)…so I was saving quite a bit with that thing. Irritated that it appears they changed it and didn’t even disclose what they were doing…

Hi

Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?
