A technical issue that went on for three months caused the transport company Uber to pay it's
drivers an additional $4 for every trip starting and ending
at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia.
“We recently discovered a technical
issue that impacted trips to and from Dulles International Airport
(IAD) from Saturday, May 5 through Friday, July 27,” the company
said in an email to drivers on Monday. “During this time,
driver-partners received an additional $4 for every trip starting or
ending at IAD. This was an oversight on our end, but the additional
payments are yours to keep. No further action is required on your
part.
“The issue has been resolved and
moving forward you will no longer receive the additional $4 payment."
