San Francisco: When Uber chief executive officer Travis Kalanick takes an Uber, he prefers a black car, the high-end service his company introduced in 2010. That pleasant conversation between Kalanick and his friends in the back of an Uber Black? Kamel, 37, has been driving for Uber since 2011 and wants to draw attention to the plight of Uber drivers. In 2012, Uber Black cost riders $4.90 per mile or $1.25 per minute in San Francisco, according to an old version of Uber’s website. Black car drivers get paid less and their business faces far more competition from other Uber services.
