SYDNEY -- The cab-hailing company Uber was promising free rides and refunds Monday for people fleeing central Sydney after coming under criticism for hiking prices during a hostage crisis that was unfolding there.
Technology news website Mashable reported that Uber was briefly charging customers a minimum fare of 100 Australian dollars ($82) and four times the usual per-mile rate to leave the city center. Uber said on its smartphone app that the rates had been increased because "Demand is off the charts!" according to Mashable.
But Uber, which offers a service based on hailing taxis from its app, quickly backtracked after an outcry on social media.
The company explained that it had used automatic "surge pricing" to encourage more drivers to get online and pick up passengers.
It wrote Monday on its Sydney blog that it was in the process of refunding people who had already paid the excessive fares and was giving free rides to others wanting to leave.
"We are all concerned with the events happening in Sydney," Uber wrote on the blog, adding that its thoughts were with those affected by the crisis and the New South Wales police force.
Many users had earlier expressed outrage: "you are horrible. Taking advantage of a situation to make a buck. If u were the only way home, I'D WALK!" wrote one person on Twitter under the hashtag #ubersydney.
The crisis began Monday morning when a gunman took an unknown number of hostages at the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in downtown Sydney. The usually busy area became deserted as Christmas shoppers fled, offices were evacuated and streets closed.

Floridas Stand Your Ground law might be expanding, thanks to a case being brought before the State Supreme Court.
According to Reuters, Jared Bretherick was arrested and charged with aggravated assault back in 2011 for pointing a pistol at a man during a road-range incident. If the court rules in his favor, the burden of proof would shift to the prosecutor to show that a defendant invoking the laws protection didnt act in self-defense.
Court documents reveal that Bretherick was riding with his family when his vehicle was almost sideswiped by an SUV driven by Derek Dunning near Orlando. The Bretherick family claimed Dunning cut them off, stopped his SUV in front of them and jumped out of his vehicle.
Ronald Bretherick, Jareds father and the driver of the vehicle, called 911 and showed his concealed carry handgun to warn Dunning off.
Dunning got back into his car, but, according to the Bretherick family, he started backing up his SUV toward them. Thats when Jared took his fathers gun and stood next to their vehicle.
Deputies said Jared was pointing the gun at Dunnings SUV when they arrived. No shots were fired.
As Reuters reports, Jared says he was protecting his father by staying next to the SUV, who is a disabled veteran, until police arrived.
Stand Your Ground immunity was denied at a hearing in 2012, on the grounds that Dunning wasnt committing a violent crime and had gone back to his vehicle. Bretherick appealed, and an appellate court is asking the Florida Supreme Court to decide on burden of proof.
