Karl Stefanovic has unleashed a furious tirade about Uber being the 'worst company of the year' after it hiked up its fares as Australia's biggest city's transport system went into meltdown.
Sydney's public transport network was plunged into chaos during Wednesday's peak afternoon after the city's railway system came to an abrupt halt for almost two hours when the network radio system failed.
With thousands of commuters stranded without a way to get home, the popular ride-sharing app's fares surged to exorbitant prices.
A booking from the CBD to inner-city Marrickville was quoted at $77.17 while a similar job to Bondi was $88.21 due to the 'increased demand'.
A trip across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to North Sydney was quoted at $90 while jobs to the south-west soared to as much as $500.
The Today show host slammed the rideshare company as 'Australia's worst company of the year' on Thursday morning.
