CBS New York June 2, 2021 If you've noticed your Uber or Lyft ride costs more lately, you're not alone. The ride-share companies admit prices have been surging and experts warn this could just be the beginning. Star Smith was taking Uber daily to go to work in Harlem, but she deleted the app last month after her commute more than doubled in cost. "I live in the Bronx. To here they want $44 and that's a lot compared to a $15 cab ride," Smith told CBS2's Ali Bauman on Tuesday.
