The *driver* told him it was 177 currency units? That's not how Uber
works. You get an estimate (and it's made very clear that it's an
estimate, not a quote) in the app, not from the driver.

And how do you know that that's a sky-high fare? It doesn't say what the
journey was.

No idea what he's talking about with this "tax" thing. Given the utter
illiteracy of the review, and the nonsense about tax, and the nonsense
about getting a quote from the driver, I'm inclined to say that this is
a fake review from a black cab driver.

You think the denominated currency was sterling, do you?


No idea. I still don't know whether that's a sky-high fare, because I
don't know what the journey was.

Or if you're asking because I said "black cab driver", feel free to add
"or similar local incumbent who is scared of competition". No-one else
seems to have had trouble understanding that but given your repeated
difficulties with the English language I shouldn't have assumed you
would understand. My apologies.
