Uber Egypt for smart transportation has notified its customers of an increase in the prices of some individual transportation services in Cairo and Alexandria due to the increase in gasoline prices.
In Alexandria, the prices of the Uber X service increased to EGP 8 up from EGP 7.25 as base fair and EGP 2.90 per km up from EGP 2.60. The minimum fair is set to EGP 11 up from EGP 10.
