      I’ve been quoted 100+ for a 20 minute ride on Uber. Needless to say I walked and waited till it was 40~. Still overpriced but still.

        Also about my own experience. Poor people pay the difference in time. Did you wait more than 20 minutes for you 20 minute ride to become palatable to pay for?
