Ride-hailing company Uber has raised its ride charges, including minimum fares, bowing to pressure from its drivers, who have been protesting its prices for months and even resorted to setting their own rates in recent weeks.

In an announcement on Monday, the company said the price increases would be across all of its products, revealing a 10 per cent adjustment to minimum fares. However, the company remained tight-lipped about how the pricing of its various ride products would be affected.
