I wrote earlier about how the Uber ride pass gave access to 30 minutes of free JUMP bikes a day. I’ve been pretty happy with it so far, except for when a bike is too far or gets snatched from me before I’m able to reserve it. I was surprised recently when I started seeing a $3 fee to reserve a bike! That’s not free anymore, even if the first 3 minutes are free.

$3 fee to reserve?? ☹️

I decided to hop on one the other day to see what would happen. I finished my ride and waited for the receipt.

Actually free though

$3.00 was knocked off my fare for having an Uber ride pass. So the deal is still good! And you are avoiding large fees by having a ride pass! I did try to see what would happen after I ran out of my free 30 minutes a day. It looks like if you cross the 30 minute mark during a ride, that ride and all the next rides do get charged the $3 fee.

Aww darn
