"Baltimore resident Gabby Wathen decided to take an Uber home from a party on Halloween. But she didn’t notice that Uber was in prime time, meaning that rates were incredibly high, and woke up to a $362 charge.

A spokeswoman for Uber Maryland released a statement to BuzzFeed News:

Uber ensures a safe, reliable ride, wherever and whenever, and dynamic pricing allows us to remain the reliable choice, even on the busiest nights of the year. Our in-app features ensure dynamic pricing is repeatedly communicated and approved before any trip is confirmed."

Could have been worse - could have been in Denver.
