The user was travelling from Kempegowda International Airport to Electronic city which is more than 50 km. The cab prices started from Rs 2,584 and went up to a whopping Rs 4,051!

He shared a screenshot of the Uber prices, with a caption that read, "Uber fare to Bangalore Airport from E-City Cost of cab fare is dangerously close to what I paid for the flight ticket"

Looking at the absurdly costly prices of the cab, many chimed in with their responses.

Another user commented, "This is what happens in a banana republic. No maximum fare cap, no cap on surge pricing, no implementation of the law and in many cases no proper law."
