British journalists tracked down the person behind a viral Islamophobia and anti-Black Facebook account (Britain Today), used by racists and far right extremists. It's a Pakistani man based in Pakistan.
This guy lands at LaGuardia, checks Uber, and gets hit with a over $100+ charge for a 15-minute ride to his apartment.
Instead of paying it, he chooses public transportation for just $3 and films the entire journey: free bus from the airport, two subway transfers, stairs, and a final walk. Timestamps show every step — he makes it home and dramatically collapses on his bed in exactly 1 hour.
Sometimes the “inconvenient” option saves you a fortune (and can even be kind of fun if you roll with it). He’d rather spend an extra hour traveling than hand over $100... and I don't blame him.
Have you ever ditched a crazy-expensive Uber/taxi for public transit to save money, or what’s the wildest surge price you’ve ever seen?
