Comment on Uber drivers in Kenya are ignoring the app and charging their own rates.

When I last visited Argentina Uber was using the official exchange rates which were just fantasy numbers. As soon as you match with a driver they’d message you and you’d negotiate the cash price. Then the ride in the app would be cancelled.
Uber didn’t mind because they were still getting the ~$1 or so cancel fee for basically being a messaging app.
Well, in defense of uber, we have monopoly cash. As of today, they should have applied “dolar tarjeta”, the drive probably negotiated some overpriced "dolar
Either case, I’m sorry for your trouble. Idk if it is still like this, but it should be better to grab an uber than a cab here. If the cab driver recognizes you as a tourist, he will give a detour just to add Kms to the bill.

Matching supply with demand, as it should be, rather than screwing both buyer and seller…
