This article is for subscribers only.
Uber Technologies Inc. raised prices for customers in California on Monday, and DoorDash Inc. will soon follow, adding fees to fund new driver perks granted by the state’s voters in last month’s election.
The cost to Uber customers will vary depending on the city and type of service, the company said. For example, each food delivery bill in Los Angeles increased by 99 cents. In San Francisco, it’s an additional $2. The surcharge for rides is 75 cents in Los Angeles and 30 cents in San Francisco. It goes as high as $1.50 in less populated areas.
