While an UberX would have cost her $126.84, an Uber Pool ride would have cost her a little less at $102.56. However, the cheapest option available was the Uber Helicopter ride at $101.39.

She tweeted the screenshot with the text, “WHY THE FUCK IS THE UBER HELICOPTER THE CHEAPEST OPTION.”

The tweet went viral soon and hundreds of Twitterati replied with hilarious responses. The tweet till now has been retweeted 144.5 thousand times.

Uber had launched its helicopter ride service almost six months ago called Uber Copter. Uber Copter was started in New York City on July 9 between Lower Manhattan and the John F Kennedy Airport. The eight-minute flight was made available to only Platinum and Diamond members of the Uber loyalty programme.
