    An uber driver told me that it's a new blanket charge to be picked up from the airport uber or any other private taxi do not make money from this I now use the shuttle or walk 5 minutes it's to the train station and get picked up there
    But if ever I stray from the path I follow
    Take me down to the English Channel
    Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!
    'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep
    Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more
  • To tell the truth, I had an unpleasant experience with Uber several times. So, I don't use their services in other cities

    If you read the rest of the thread you will see that Uber impose the airport parking charge even for pick-up from the railway station.
  • Had something similar happen once, but it was also the last time I ever used it again.
