Ride-hailing giant Uber is set to introduce a fuel surcharge for non-electric vehicle fares in Australia, in response to the country's soaring petrol prices. As petrol costs continue to rise, the company is facing increased operational costs, which it claims are being passed on to drivers and ultimately, passengers. The fuel surcharge is expected to be added to non-electric fares, with the exact amount still to be determined. The move comes as many Australians are feeling the pinch of rising living costs, and the decision is likely to be closely watched by consumers and industry experts alike.
