Uber cars offer a better price than taxis in many cities, but they don't always charge the same rate in each location. In times of high demand Uber initiates surge pricing – you are charged the normal fare times a surge multiplier. We figured out the break-even point for each city. This is the level of surge pricing at which the Uber car becomes more expensive than a taxi.
