You’re probably not going to like the theory of trickle-down.
Orlando International Airport officials notified Uber of higher fees for passenger pickup.
MCO has become the most expensive location in the country to use a ride-sharing service from and to the airport.
George Mack, a Marylander who visited Orlando on a rideshare program, said: “It is already high.
By October, the price is expected rise by 20 percent.
It’s a 20% increase. Uber spokesperson JaviCorreoso said that this will have a negative effect on Uber drivers as well as Uber riders, because they are going to pay more.
However, the increase is expected to benefit services like shuttles for hotels and ride-sharing. Kevin Thibault, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, said that the authority had the right to change the rates whenever they wanted.
He said, “This issue was already negotiated and settled when the operating contract was signed in 2017 and we will not be renegotiating this.” “These fee increases have already been approved by the authority in September 2022. There is no need to bring them to the board again.”
Tom Jelneck is a consumer advocate who believes that the increased Uber prices could trickle down to all other modes of transportation. He said that taxi cabs were also expensive. “Consumers will have to decide what is the easiest way to leave here, get to my home or hotel.”
