Uber sets stricter cancellation rules, penalizes tardy riders in select cities

The ever-changing world of ride sharing apps, currently dominated by Uber, is making another sharp turn, again. But this time it's the riders who are on the hook in the face of innovation

An update to the Uber app noticed by a high profile user on Monday revealed that tardy app users will now have less time to dally, with the penalty being additional charges

"Starting today, you may incur a fee if you cancel a trip more than two minutes after requesting OR if the driver has to wait more than two minutes to begin your trip," read the message that popped up in the update
