Hi Susan, thank you so much for your very kind words. I am so glad the driver managed to assist you in your time in need. I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery.
Paying twice for one ride.
I pay on the app and yet I'm still expected to pay the driver extra if his meter says the ride cost more than what the app has given me. I shouldn't have to pay twice for one ride?
