Uber has stopped showing prices upfront in response to California's new gig-work law - Business Insider

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.

In an email sent out to riders and seen by Reuters the company said the final price would now be calculated at the end of a trip, "based on the actual time and distance traveled." The email included a picture displaying an example of a ride request on the Uber app. It showed a $27 to $36 range for an UberX ride, the company's most popular private ride option.

By classifying contractors as employees, technology companies like Uber, Lyft Inc, DoorDash and Postmates Inc would be subject to labor laws that require higher pay and other benefits, such as medical insurance. Nevertheless, the company has made changes to its driver app in recent weeks, with California drivers now being able to see more information ahead of accepting a trip, including the ride's likely fare, length and destination.

Lyft and Uber only paid drivers like 20-40% of what they charged the customer anyways. Maybe now drivers will actually get paid for the trip they’re doing.
