Uber Price Check

Uber Price Check

Check ride prices on Uber for a given destination. Uber has no consumer API — pricing can only be seen through the app.

Use snapshot throughout. Avoid screenshot unless snapshot returns no useful elements.

Package

com.ubercab (Uber) or com.ubercab.eats (Uber Eats)

Note: If Uber is not installed, inform the user. Check with list_apps first.

Step 1 — Launch Uber

shell → monkey -p com.ubercab -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

snapshot — confirm Uber is open and logged in. If a login/signup screen appears, inform the user and stop.

Step 2 — Enter destination

1. snapshot — the home screen typically shows "Where to?" / "去哪里？" input field
2. tap the destination input field
3. type_text with the destination from $ARGUMENTS or as specified by the user
4. snapshot — wait for autocomplete suggestions to appear
5. tap the most relevant suggestion from the list

Step 3 — Read ride options

After selecting a destination, Uber shows available ride types with prices.

1. snapshot — read the ride options panel. Look for:
   • Ride type names: "UberX", "Uber Comfort", "UberXL", "Uber Black", etc.
   • Price estimates for each option
   • Estimated arrival time (ETA)
   • Estimated trip duration
2. If not all options are visible, swipe up on the ride options panel to see more
3. Collect all ride types, prices, and ETAs

Step 4 — Report to user

Present a clear price comparison:

Uber prices to [Destination]:

| Ride Type     | Price      | Arrival | Trip Time |
|---------------|------------|---------|-----------|
| UberX         | $12-15     | 3 min   | 18 min    |
| Uber Comfort  | $16-20     | 5 min   | 18 min    |
| UberXL        | $20-25     | 8 min   | 18 min    |
| Uber Black    | $30-38     | 6 min   | 18 min    |

Ask if the user wants to book a ride.

Step 5 — Book ride (if requested)

1. snapshot — find the desired ride type and tap to select it
2. Look for the "Confirm" / "确认" button
3. Confirm with the user before tapping: "Book UberX for $12-15? This will request a ride."
4. After user confirms, tap Confirm
5. snapshot — verify the ride is confirmed (shows driver matching screen)

Important Notes

1. Always confirm before booking — this commits real money and requests a real ride
2. Surge pricing: Uber may show surge multipliers during busy times. Alert the user if prices seem unusually high
3. Uber UI varies by region — element labels may be in different languages. Common identifiers include "fare_estimate", "vehicle_view", "product_name"
4. Payment method: The default payment method will be used. If the user wants to change it, look for the payment icon (usually bottom of ride options)
5. Pickup location: Uber uses the phone's GPS for pickup. If the user wants a different pickup point, they need to adjust it on the map before entering a destination
6. If Uber is not installed but user wants ride prices, suggest checking Lyft (com.lyft.android) or other ride-hailing apps available on the device
