It doesn't matter if it shows the route. Uber in my experience will side with the driver if they take a bad route. I was swindled for triple the price because of a fictitious gas leak. Driver took a very circuitous route that just so happened to take in some very fast roads to increase distance and price. When I complained to Uber they just said it was a normal route. On the map the route looks like a sickle. How can anyone look at that as normal?

I feel like you're not giving us all the details of this case. What do you mean by fast roads? Uber calculates price on both distance and time, so fast rides can also be to your advantage. How do you know the gas leak was fictitious?
