Did Uber Ride Pass get discontinued? Was it just a trial thing? I used it for I think 4 months and was saving an average of $50 net per month once you factored in the cost of the pass. However, the last one I had expired a few days ago, and now the option is gone. Not a big deal, just curious why I can't find anything about it.
What happened to the Uber Ride Pass in Chicago?

Still nothing. Most recent message changed from "under investigation" to "known issue".
Same problem. No response from Uber other than the situation is "under investigation".
I contacted Uber about the Pass not working and missing from the app. They just responded that this is a known issue and the team is working to fix this as soon as possible.
Same thing here. My Pass was due to autopay yesterday, but it didn't charge my card. I noticed that the Uber app was updated on 11/11/19 and the Pass tab is missing. I didn't recieve a notice about canceling the Pass. Maybe something was overlooked on the app update?
This is just a guess. Now that Uber and Lyft went public Investors are demanding to see a profit. According to an article I read the Investors want them to raise passengers fares. They have cut drivers rate, bonuses quest, and surge. If they cut rates anymore there will be no more drivers. That leaves one choice raise passengers fares. I have a few suggestions for them. Cut the salaries of some their top executives. Dara making 46M. Other executives salaries are up there also. It's just a matter of time and fares will go up.
That's weird. I'm not in chicago so I can't verify, but they say it is available in "select cities", and that they are expanding it to more cities in 2019. So it would be weird if they were shutting cities off from it.
