Random mini-hijack since we were talking about Uber pricing here.
I spent the past week in Boston, flying in and out of Logan. When I arrived (solo), it was $53 for an Uber to my hotel. I caught a cab for $38 plus tip.
Heading back to Logan today (with my family, so UberXL), the app quoted me $69. I wanted to call a cab again, but was concerned about getting one big enough for all of us and our luggage.
So I force closed the Uber app and checked once more. Less than a minute later, it was $51 for the same trip. WTF? They didn't show the usual "surge pricing" message either time.
