TORONTO | client of Uber in Toronto has been a bad surprise after having traveled 7.7 km to move in the Queen City on 8 December last, which cost him the tidy sum of 18 518,50 $.

This trip should have cost between 12 and $ 16. A screen print of the receipt Uber has been shared on Instagram before finding himself on Twitter.

Uber has admitted this error, reported on the website Slate. The customer was refunded quickly enough and the company has offered its apologies.

An error of the driver when its input data in the meter is at the origin of this excessive cost.
