This North Texas city has among the cheapest Uber ride prices in the country

If your Independence Day celebration involves a drink or two, a new study has some good news about Uber prices in one North Texas city.

FORT WORTH, Texas — If your Independence Day celebration involves a drink or two, taking a rideshare like Uber is always a good idea. And a new study offers some good news about Uber prices in at least one North Texas city. 

Fort Worth is tied with Indianapolis for the cheapest Uber prices in the country, with an average price for a 30-minute Uber ride of $28.33, according to a recent study by online lender NetCredit

To determine the cities with the most and least expensive Uber rides, NetCredit used the Uber page for the 100 most populous cities in the U.S. and the three most populous cities by state to find the average local price estimate. Then, NetCredit calculated the local average price of a 30-minute ride in each city and state as a percentage of the local average hourly wage via the Bureau of Labor (sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics

Texas came in third, behind Indiana and Utah, for the cheapest Uber rides, according to the study. Statewide, the average price of a 30-minute Uber ride is $30.86 or 139.6% of the local median hourly wage. 

The most expensive Uber ride in the U.S., by contrast, is in Seattle, where a 30-minute ride costs an average of $60, according to the study. Washington is also the state with the most expensive Uber rides, with an average price for a 30-minute ride of $53.46.

To save money on Uber rides, NetCredit suggests carpooling using UberX Share, using the app to split the fare if traveling with friends, or using a combination of Uber and public transportation, like DART or TRE locally, to get to your destination, if possible. 

NetCredit’s listing was first reported locally by our content partners at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
