Case contract

Scheduled rides guarantee the booked price: the rider pays the lower of booked and metered fare plus the reservation fee. If the driver never shows, nothing is charged and the reservation fee is refunded. Return charge cents and whether the fee is refunded.

Why this case matters

Ride-hailing prices are computed per trip at scale; ordering, unit and boundary slips become systematic over- or under-charging.

One recorded failure
